District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City proposes to merge 10 wards into 4 new wards

Currently, District 7 has a natural area of 35.7 km2 with a total population of more than 431,000 people, divided into 10 wards: Tan Hung, Tan Kieng, Tan Quy, Tan Phong, Tan Phu, Tan Thuan Tay, Tan Thuan Dong, Phu My, Binh Thuan and Phu Thuan.

The rearrangement of ward-level administrative units will be reduced from 10 to 4 wards, equivalent to a reduction of 60% of the current number of wards.

Tan My ward: Formed from the merger of Tan Phu ward and part of Phu My ward. The new ward has an area of 6.45 km2 (an increase of 117.27% compared to the standard) and a population of about 68,887 people (an increase of 148.63%).

Tan Hung Ward: Unified the status quo of the four wards of Tan Phong, Tan Hung, Tan Kieng and Tan Quy. The area reached 8.54 km2 (155.27%), the population was up to 182,417 people (4 times higher than the standard, reaching 405.37%).

Tan Thuan Ward: Established from three wards: Binh Thuan, Tan Thuan Dong and Tan Thuan Tay. The new area is 10.16 km2 (184.73%), with a population of 125,281 people (278.40%).

Phu Thuan Ward: Merge Phu Thuan Ward and the rest of Phu My Ward. The area of the new ward is 10.55 km2 (191.82%), with a population of about 56,687 people (125.97%).

According to the People's Committee of District 7, the arrangement of 10 wards into 4 new wards is carried out on the basis of ensuring a reasonable balance of area and population, facilitating state management, socio-economic development and project implementation in the area.

At the same time, this option helps people more easily in daily life, production and administrative transactions after the arrangement.

Adjusting administrative boundaries also contributes to stabilizing the current status map, limiting the impact on construction and land management in the transition period; minimizing the impact on people and businesses when carrying out procedures related to real estate documents.
