The underground spaces will connect to areas near metro lines, according to the department. Nguyễn Thanh Nhã, head of the department, said that an international contest to seek ideas for the underground space planning has been approved by the People’s Committee. Architect Khương Văn Mười, former chairman of the HCM City Association of Architects, said that facilities in the underground space would relieve pressure above ground and provide additional parking space as well security and defense. Underground spaces connecting metro lines and public transport vehicles will be important, and the main metro stations should have many services, with underground tunnels connecting markets, trade centers, and others, he said. The city’s current planning projects include underground space at Quách Thị Trang Square and the 23.9 park that will connect to metro stations in the Bến Thành area in District 1.
