Within this new structure, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) remain the country\u2019s two most important economic and governance centers, shaping national development. Post-reform, Hanoi focuses on innovation, digital governance, human-capital development, and cultural\u2013heritage preservation, while HCMC expands into a mega-city integrating industrial, logistics, and coastal economic strengths. Together, the two cities create complementary opportunities for foreign investors across various fields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Hanoi and HCMC in Vietnam\u2019s Map <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23091 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hanoi-and-HCMC-in-Vietnams-Map.png\" alt=\"Hanoi and HCMC in Vietnam\u2019s Map\" width=\"978\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hanoi-and-HCMC-in-Vietnams-Map.png 978w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hanoi-and-HCMC-in-Vietnams-Map-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hanoi-and-HCMC-in-Vietnams-Map-768x484.png 768w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Hanoi-and-HCMC-in-Vietnams-Map-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>B&amp;Company\u2019s synthesis<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hanoi after the national administrative merger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hanoi was not merged with other provinces during Vietnam&#8217;s 2025 administrative reforms. In 2008, Hanoi expanded by merging with Ha Tay province, Me Linh district from Vinh Phuc, and parts of Hoa Binh. This left ample room for growth without needing further mergers, unlike denser cities facing infrastructure bottlenecks<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. Keeping Hanoi intact preserves its role as the political and administrative capital while allowing focus on internal efficiencies like the new two-tier governance model.<\/p>\n<p>In the period of 2020-2024, Hanoi has an average GRDP growth rate of 7.1%\/year, higher than the national level (6%\/year)<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>. In the first nine months of 2025, Hanoi has reached a growth rate of 7.92% and is expected to have an annual growth of 8.5%<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>. During 2026 \u2013 2030, Hanoi targets to have GRDP growth of over 11% per year, an increase in the human development and well-being index. The city explicitly aims to be \u201cV\u0103n hi\u1ebfn \u2013 V\u0103n minh \u2013 Hi\u1ec7n \u0111\u1ea1i\u201d (Heritage &#8211; Civilized \u2013 Modern), positioning itself as a top national centre for culture, education, health, science, technology and innovation<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\"><\/a><a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Hanoi government has recently emphasized building a smart, modern capital. The city also accelerates the implementation of digital governance and public-service digitization: local authorities have issued directives to deploy information-technology staff at all administrative levels to support citizens and businesses in online public services<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>. The city is working to build an innovation ecosystem, leveraging the existing high-tech zone (e.g., Hoa Lac High-tech Park)<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hanoi also sets a new record for its FDI inflows: in the first seven months of 2025, Hanoi attracted USD 3.8 billion of FDI investment, accounting for 15.6% of national FDI. This places Hanoi in the third rank compared to other cities\/provinces in the country, behind HCMC and Bac Ninh<a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a>. Key sectors include real estate, manufacturing, R&amp;D, tech transfer, and high-quality training<a href=\"#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Hanoi faces several challenges. After the national administrative merger, Hanoi has the highest population density among 34 cities and provinces. This high population density, particularly inthe\u00a0 central area, creates congestion, strains infrastructure, and drives up real estate and living costs. Rapid urbanization risks putting pressure on transport, utilities, and public services, while balancing modern development with heritage preservation remains difficult. Additionally, although the city is prioritizing innovation and digital transformation, the absorption and effective deployment of capital and talent in these sectors still lag behind targets<a href=\"#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Top 5 Vietnamese Cities\/Provinces with the highest Population Density after merger (2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Unit: People\/km<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23090\" src=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger.png\" alt=\"Top 5 Vietnamese Cities &amp; Provinces with the highest Population Density after merger (2024)\" width=\"430\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger.png 1682w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger-1024x668.png 1024w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger-768x501.png 768w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger-1536x1003.png 1536w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-5-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-the-highest-Population-Density-after-merger-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/vietnams-restructuring-of-provincial-level-administrative-units-and-implementation-of-a-two-tier-local-governance-system\/\">B&amp;Company<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ho Chi Minh City after the national administrative merger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From 1 July 2025, HCMC officially merged with Binh Duong and Ba Ria \u2013 Vung Tau. Previously, HCMC had 2,095 km<sup>2<\/sup> in area with 10 million people. The new HCMC covers an area of about 6,772 km\u00b2 and encompasses a population of approximately 14 million people, making it by far the largest city in Vietnam by population and a megacity on a national scale. The merged entity aims to integrate the complementary strengths of the three former units: HCMC\u2019s strengths in commerce, finance and services; Binh Duong\u2019s smart manufacturing and industrial base; Ba Ria \u2013 Vung Tau\u2019s ports, coastal logistics, energy (e.g., petrochemical), and tourism<a href=\"#_ftn11\" name=\"_ftnref11\">[11]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new HCMC is merged from 3 of the top 6 cities\/provinces with the highest GRDP in 2024, thus making the combined GRDP of the merged HCMC account for nearly 24% of Vietnam\u2019s total GDP<a href=\"#_ftn12\" name=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a>. HCMC is also the location for 278,000 enterprises, 220,000 household businesses, and hosts more than 2,000 startups (roughly half of the national total), making it Vietnam\u2019s leading startup and private\u2011sector hub<a href=\"#_ftn13\" name=\"_ftnref13\">[13]<\/a>. During the period of 2026-2030, the city authorities project steady GRDP growth of 10-11%, driven by manufacturing modernization, high-value services, and export-oriented industries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Top Vietnamese Cities\/Provinces with the highest GRDP (2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Unit: quadrillion VND<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23089\" src=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024.png\" alt=\"Top Vietnamese Cities &amp; Provinces with highest GRDP (2024)\" width=\"570\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024.png 1141w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/b-company.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Top-Vietnamese-Cities-Provinces-with-highest-GRDP-2024-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/b-company.jp\/vietnams-restructuring-of-provincial-level-administrative-units-and-implementation-of-a-two-tier-local-governance-system\/\">B&amp;Company<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With population rise after the merger, HCMC faces significant urban and social planning demands. Authorities are expanding public transportation networks, including metro lines, bus rapid transit, and integrated transport hubs connecting the former provinces<a href=\"#_ftn14\" name=\"_ftnref14\">[14]<\/a>. Investments in healthcare, education, and smart-city initiatives aim to enhance quality of life. Urban planning also focuses on sustainable development, balancing industrial growth with environmental management, green spaces, and coastal area protection, to accommodate population growth and support long-term liveability.<\/p>\n<p>In the first seven months of 2025, the new HCMC attracted more than USD\u202f4 billion in FDI, accounting for 16.7% of the national total value. This meant HCMC had attracted the most FDI among all cities\/provinces in Vietnam. Much of this investment flowed into export\u2011processing zones, industrial parks and crucially, into high\u2011tech sectors (including semiconductor manufacturing, data centers, and pharmaceuticals), marking a clear shift toward value\u2011added, technology-driven growth in the city\u2019s economy<a href=\"#_ftn15\" name=\"_ftnref15\">[15]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its growth potential, HCMC faces several challenges. Integrating three former jurisdictions involves aligning regulations, administrative procedures, and urban planning frameworks, which may cause temporary inefficiencies. Urban sprawl and environmental pressures, such as coastal erosion and industrial pollution, require careful management. Additionally, social inequality and disparities between former urban and rural areas could affect workforce distribution and service delivery, creating risks that investors need to monitor carefully.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Business Implication<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnam\u2019s 2025 national administrative restructuring has created two distinct yet highly complementary economic centers, each offering unique opportunities for foreign investors.

Many investors will find value in dual-city strategies, such as locating headquarters or research activities in Hanoi while establishing manufacturing, distribution, and commercial operations in HCMC.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, both cities are accelerating digitalization, sustainability, and infrastructure upgrades, which reflect Vietnam\u2019s broader commitment to aligning with global supply chain shifts. This creates openings in green energy, environmental technology, smart transport, digital services, and ESG-compliant manufacturing, aligning well with the strategic priorities of institutional investors and multinational corporations.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Vietnam\u2019s administrative restructuring enhances regional competitiveness and diversification, offering foreign investors a clearer pathway to align long-term strategies with the unique strengths of each city.
