The city People's Committee recently decided to study the areas for TOD planning to create the basis for identifying suitable sites within the 940 ha for urban development and public transport hubs.
The Ben Thanh - Tham Luong metro line will run more than 11 km connecting the city downtown with its northwest.
The first of five areas identified for TOD is around downtown stations Ben Thanh and Tao Dan with more than 188 ha.
The second covers more than 265 ha around Dan Chu, Hoa Hung, Le Thi Rieng, Pham Van Hai, and Bay Hien stations.
The third, nearly 44 ha, is around Nguyen Hong Dao Station.
