The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Planning and Architecture has added the English version to their digital data hub ‘Ho Chi Minh City Urban Planning Information’ in an effort to enhance accessibility to public information for expatriates.

The ‘Ho Chi Minh City Urban Planning Information’ is a digital application, available on web and mobile platforms, developed by the department with the intentionn of streamlining the process of disseminating urban planning information in Ho Chi Minh City to its residents, institutes, and private businesses.

The app on Wednesday received a major update which includes a new digital format map, user interface redesign, advanced search function enabling street name and coordinate queries, as well as a user ratings and feedback feature.

On top of that, the app is now available in English, which is expected to help expatriates and foreign stakeholders having an interest in the city’s urban planning to access and research their desired information with much less hassle.

The department welcomes individuals and entities to check out the new experience of the app on its web-based version: https://thongtinquyhoach.hochiminhcity.gov.vn or the mobile version at bit.ly/ttqhandroid (Android) and bit.ly/ttqhios (iOS).

Users can also find the app on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store using search queries ‘thong tin quy hoach HCM’ or ‘TTQH HCM.’

The app made its debut on November 30, 2017 and has been considered a pivotal solution for the public demand for accessible urban planning information, as well as an advocate for citizen participation in establishing and observing the urban planning process.

The department vows to listen to users’ feedback and consistently update the app in the future.
