Preserving the vast mangrove forests surrounding the vast 20sqkm competition site, this winning proposal aims to create Vietnam’s first model Eco-town, relying on 4 main pillars: eco living, eco connectivity, eco entertainment and eco resources and facilities.

The “Mangrove Loop” name is derived from the city’s masterplanning concept, that relies on a strong urban shape: a green, circular boulevard that helps redistribute flows from the center to the new functional areas, bringing functions together and increasing the value of the land.
