A four-story house in An Lac Ward, Binh Tan District — despite having its foundation piled 30 meters deep — still sank more than 60 cm in just 10 years, causing the foundation to crack. Not far away, the An Lac Ward Cultural and Sports Center recorded a record subsidence: 81.8 cm.
In District 8, the pedestrian bridge across Vo Van Kiet Avenue sank 40 cm, forcing the construction of additional steps for people to walk.
These are physical evidences of a crisis taking place right under the city.
Ho Chi Minh City — Vietnam’s economic locomotive — is sinking day by day.
Let’s find out with BCNN:
What physical evidence shows that the city is “collapsing” from the inside?
What is the real scientific cause — subsidence, groundwater, or the urban load itself?
And is the strategic pivot to the Northwest (Cu Chi - Hoc Mon) the inevitable future of Ho Chi Minh City?
