Ho Chi Minh City is racing to complete key transport infrastructure projects ahead of the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification. These efforts are helping to make the city’s urban transport infrastructure more accessible and connected.

Investments in railway infrastructure development will generate approximately 76 billion USD for the construction market and 34 billion USD for the equipment market, according to forecasts towards 2035, with a vision to 2050. As mega-projects loom, what opportunities await Vietnamese companies?

The Thăng Long Project Management Board has submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Construction, seeking approval for the investor selected to implement Phase 1 of the Dầu Giây–Tân Phú Expressway under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.

The People’s Committee of Hải Phòng City, in collaboration with Hateco Group, officially inaugurated the Hateco Hai Phong International Container Terminal (HHIT) on Saturday at the Lạch Huyện deep-water port area.

The Environmental Protection Law of 2020 significantly sh ifts waste management thinking. Instead of viewing waste as a burden, the law considers it a resource—an input material for the circular economy.

In order to enhance infrastructure development, attract investment and connect regions, Tây Ninh Province is determined to speed up the progress of key transport projects in the area.

Waste is an inevitable part of modern life, and as life continues to develop, the challenge of waste management becomes increasingly urgent. We can no longer rely on outdated methods; waste management requires a new, integrated approach from public awareness and technical infrastructure to policy mechanisms, thus transforming waste from an environmental burden into a valuable resource for sustainable development.

Vietnam is among the countries with high level of water usage, while the ability to regenerate water resources is under great pressure from climate change, rapid urbanisation and population growth. In this context, wastewater (especially industrial wastewater), if treated and reused effectively, will help reduce exploitation from natural water sources, protect ecosystems, and reduce environmental treatment costs.

In addition to genuine demand for land and housing, speculative activities are driving up prices and creating a 'land fever' that may significantly increase risks for investors in the domestic real estate market.

The central city, in co-operation with the World Bank, has introduced the ‘Handbook for Evaluating Necessity and Socio-Economic Efficiency of Urban Transport Projects’ after a two-year development with support from the WB and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
