2. OBJECTIVES:

The project is aimed to found an international- class university and a high-class residential area for opulent living, higher and post- graduated education;

A general library,  a scientific materials center and an IT center would also be founded to serve the research of students and experts , even people living and working in North-West Metropolitan Area and neighbouring regions.

3. LOCATION AND THE CURRENT STATUS:

The projected area is some 830 ha, situated in Hoc Mon District, around 19 km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City ; three-sidedly bordered by  ditches and canals, adjoining:  

 - Thay Cai canal and Tan Phu Trung industrial park in the West and North – West.
-   An Ha canal in the East.       
- Duc Hoa 2 industrial park (Long An Province) in the South.    

Currently, the area is in an agricultural region with fruit trees and poor productivity rice fields; thinly populated, low construction density, without drainage and water-supply system. ...  

The land- use right in this area is all  Government-controlled. Compensation and clearance  for construction are therefore fast and convenient, without shadow cost.

4. IDEAS OF PLANNING :

The international University and residential area would expectedly include:
