HCM City at risk of fresh flooded areasMany districts in Ho Chi Minh City have no drainage and drainage system in several districts have not been connected with others; therefore, the city is at the risk of having new flooded areas. Lo Lu Street - the center of land price fever - has no sewerage systemWhile the drainage system is not connected in the whole city, more new high-rise buildings and residential blocks are mushrooming. For instance, the 1 kilometer street No.8 in District 9’s Truong Thanh ward has ten land plots each 50 meter square. The street is connected to Lo Lu street – center of the recent land price fever in HCMC’s outskirts. 2 kilometer Lo Lu street has no sewerage network yet real estate companies advertised to sell plots.
