Under construction: Vietnam´s 462m skyscraper

[3Kingdoms]

Areas of development - River City will be in district 7

Empire City Tower 462m - Thu Thiem

World's tallest temple planned. Just for some one who is interested. 689 ft height.

Why such a tower have to be a religious one?

Wow, this one looks very beautiful. I like squared high rise building. I saw in Jinan the Inspur building. A box-like design looks pretty cool.

the scale of this map is way off. Saigon is really small; it is only about 10x10 miles. You can look on google map to confirm this. That begs the question on why Saigon with a population of 10 million, but the city is so small despite the fact that most people live in low rise dwellings. What makes it hard to understand is that a city with a population comparable to Saigon such as Shanghai and their population live mostly in high-rise buildings and yet the city is densely populated with buildings that stretches more than 50x50 miles. Even city like Xian with a few millions that has an area densely populated with buildings that stretches over 20x20 miles.

Saigon is comparable to Shanghai in size and population? Why don't you tell the people here Vietnam is comparable to China in size and population too because nobody can't prove it?

Yes most Saigoner live in low rise dwellings. I think this news makes you happy. Most Germans live in low rise housing. Yes they are mostly slum people.

Before u throw your hissy fit just read my post again. I only wonder why saigon is miniscule in scale despite having a whopping 10 million people. What makes it even more difficult to understand is most people live in low rise dwellings so you would think saigon would occupy more land area than a city with a comparable population such as shanghai. However most in shanghai live in high rise building yet shanghai is at least 5 times larger than saigon. Let's not talk about shanghai, even xian with 5 million people occupies a land area twice the size of saigon.

I wonder that you raised such question. If you have ever visited a family in Saigon the you will see 10-20 family members live under one roof: grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren. And who knows plus friends and relatives from neighbors. Besides Vietnamese people are smaller in size, we fit in every small houses. I hope that answers your question.

Ah...I see; that could be the reason. Yeah, I notice real estate is pricey to afford in city like Saigon so I guess people live together to share the cost.

East Asian families tend to live together multi-generational. family unit is very important to Confucius cultures. Living with your parents etc. are not look down upon like in the West. also, because of population density, space is better utilized, aka no two garage houses with a big truck and lawn.

that is what Saigon needs it most: a new international airport because the existing is totally overcrowded. $16b Long Thanh airport with a capacity of 100 million passengers a year. construction will likely start in the third quarter of 2018.

Wow...looks great.

Is it empty land right now? How far from city centre will it be?

the new airport lies about 40 km in the south of Saigon. the land needs to be cleared, people there need new homes.
