Ho Chi Minh City is undertaking various administrative and developmental initiatives. The city is reviewing a draft Master Plan for the 2025–2030 period with a 100-year vision, which proposes transitioning from a monocentric urban model to a multi-polar, multi-center megacity. This plan focuses on enhancing global competitiveness, climate change adaptability, and integrating multi-modal infrastructure including rail, waterways, and aviation.

In tandem with long-term planning, the city is also tightening management of the tourism sector. Authorities are increasing oversight of accommodation information on online travel agency platforms to prevent fraudulent star ratings and ensure service quality matches actual conditions. The initiative aims to clarify the responsibilities of both accommodations and online agencies to protect tourists and maintain fair competition.
