Among one million social housing units by 2030 nationwide, as projected by the Government, the new city of Can Tho (which comprised former Can Tho city and Soc Trang and Hau Giang provinces) has to contribute 16,900 units.
Commercial and social housing development must go hand in hand, supported by appropriate regulations and breakthrough solutions to expand social housing supply, according to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
Four ongoing projects—totaling 2,874 units—are expected to be completed by the end of 2025, ensuring the city meets its social housing target for the year.
