Saigon River Development Plan: Developing riverside urban space

Editor's note: The presentation, called Pier 4 project, is made by Ngo Bao Quyen, Luu My Linh, Nguyen Khac Hai Linh, and Nguyen Duc Long in response to the ‘Saigon River Development Plan’ contest, an open forum for readers to contribute their ideas and solutions to develop the Saigon River and surrounding urban areas in Ho Chi Minh City.

The contest is co-organized by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on the occasion of this year’s Reunification Day (April 30).
