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
[edit]Phú 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
[edit]The 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.
