A view of Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre in HCM City. “City within a city” is a new trend in housing market. — Photo phumyhungcity.com.vn HCM CITY — ‘City within a city’ is likely to become a new trend in the housing market this year, experts predict. Property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) explained that the concept refers to large-scale integrated developments. It has grown in popularity recently as developers seek to attract buyers with holistic, well-planned communities within a city as people seek to avoid the chaos created by rapid urbanisation and lagging infrastructure in shared facilities. Nowadays developers taking part in city planning have to carefully understand the fundamentals of city planning to create sustainable value for their large-scale projects, according to Trang Bùi, head of markets, JLL Vietnam. According to JLL, the beauty of any large-scale development is the ability to offer a diverse range of housing types to various groups of potential buyers. While each building should be custom designed for a specific group, the overall living environment should still be harmonious, it said. For example, in Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre in District 7, developers build smaller apartments in the urban heart of the development targeted at single expats and young tenants. Family-oriented buyers who buy larger units tend to prefer the quieter area of the development. ‘City within a city’ is one of five trends JLL predicts the market would see. The Covid-19 pandemic has left hardly any business or industry untouched, according to JLL. But other parts of life and business have continued apace, sustainability initiatives are forging ahead, interest rates are low, and demand for commercial real estate continues to rise. Offices would change, but workers are eager to head back, and as the world looks ahead to 2021, it is worth looking back at a year that changed real estate and, crucially, at trends that have either …

Residents and tourists alike have shared their disappointment over the removal of large portions of the Franciscaines Misionnaires de Marie – an abandoned monastery in the Central Highlands city of Da Lat – during the site’s renovation. Spanning more than seven hectares, the chapel and residential quarters of Franciscaines Misionnaires de Marie sit between Tran Quang Dieu and Hung Vuong Streets in Da Lat, which is the capital of Lam Dong Province. For years, the iconic chapel has been an inspiration for Vietnamese artists and photographers, being reimagined in countless works of art. The mission is located in an area surrounded by pine trees near the center of Da Lat. Photo: Duc Tho / Tuoi Tre A ruined complex According to writer Nguyen Vinh Nguyen, the Benedictine complex was designed and built by French architects Alexandre Leonard and Paul Veysseyre in the late 30s and early 40s, marking the onset of Benedictine missionaries from the West making their way to Vietnam. In 1954, these missionaries left the complex in the hands of Franciscans nuns before moving to Hue in the central region to set up the Thien An Monastery. In the following years, the nuns enlisted Vietnamese architect Pham Khanh Chu to design additional classrooms behind the existing complex. According to Tran Ngoc Trac, former head of Lam Dong Province Arts and Literature Association, the mission was known as Viet Nu Commercial School in 1969. In 1979, the seven-hectare complex was handed over to the government. Machines are brought to the mission to remove severely destroyed areas. Photo: Duc Tho / Tuoi Tre Over the following decades, the school’s two classroom blocks and residential building served as the province’s supplementary school, then as the Lam Vien Hotel, and eventually Tran Phu High School. In the 1980s, another building was built between the two blocks. The chapel and monastery were next used as a warehouse, sports hall, and …

The little girl who was saved in a hair-raising fall from a building in Hanoi last month was discharged from the Vietnam National Children’s Hospital on Friday after five days of treatment. Doctor Hoang Hai Duc, head of pediatric orthopedics at the hospital, said the pelvis joint of H., the child patient in question, was fixed and is responding well to treatment, as suggested by X-ray images. A re-examination for the three-year-old toddler is slated for two or three weeks later. On Thursday, Duong Thi Minh Thu, head of the hospital's social work Ddepartment, visited and gave presents to the girl and checked on her family. The management board of the hospital also directed the department to provide support for the family during the girl’s next check-ups. On behalf of the family, H.’s mother expressed gratitude toward the treatment that her daughter had received. Around 5:30 pm on February 28, H. was seen climbing over the balcony on the 12th floor of the apartment building at 60B Nguyen Huy Tuong Street in Thanh Xuan District. She hung there for a moment before dropping. The girl was saved by a man, 31-year-old Nguyen Ngoc Manh , who had noticed the situation and dashed up the metal roof of a structure ready to catch her. Her fall barely missed his arms so she hit the metal roof below before bouncing up, according to what was seen in new videos that surfaced after initial footage of the incident went viral on Facebook. Manh quickly brought her down to the ground before she was rushed to the hospital with injuries to the pelvis joint. The man was then praised by the prime minister and the public for his heroic act. Manh is a delivery worker in Dong Anh District, Hanoi. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get the latest news about Vietnam! …
