The decision mentions 17 villas in District 3, 11 in District 1, 11 in Thu Duc District, 7 in District 6 and the remainder in districts 2, 11, Phu Nhuan, Tan Binh and Binh Thanh.
Those old villas have an area of 150 to 3,580 square meters each. The revocation of these villas, according to the decision, will help improve economic efficiency and the cityscape.
The city government will relocate the families living in the villas and proceed with reconstruction work between now and 2015. The city’s top priority is to turn these properties into school, hospital, park, public service facility, and social home.
