Phú Mỹ Hưng urban area (Vietnamese: Khu đô thị Phú Mỹ Hưng) is a planned community in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.[1][2] The area is managed by the Phu My Hung Development Corporation.[3]
On June 26, 2008, the Ministry of Construction and the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City recognized Phú Mỹ Hưng urban area as a "model urban area" of Vietnam.
Location
editPhú Mỹ Hưng is located along Nguyễn Văn Linh Boulevard, an arterial route through District 7 and the South Saigon area. It is spread over 3,300 hectares of land. The Area used to be dense marshland and is defined by many waterways.
History
editThe Phú Mỹ Hưng development was founded in 1993 by the Phu My Hung Development Corporation (Vietnamese: Công ty TNHH Phát triển Phú Mỹ Hưng), a joint venture between the Taiwanese CT & D group and the HCMC Government. The development was planned and has won awards on its urban planning.[citation needed] Since the late 1990s Phu My Hung has grown in size and population.
Every year since 2006 the Lawrence Ting Charity Walk has been held in Phú Mỹ Hưng - raising a total of $1.7m (up to 2023). It is hosted by the Phu My Hung Development Corporation.
