The HCMC government asserted on Tuesday it would pool various capital sources for building key traffic infrastructure projects such as the metro system and elevated roads in the next five years to fight worsening traffic congestion.
City chairman Le Hoang Quan said on Tuesday at the Q&A session of the ongoing People’s Council sitting that “the top priority for the city’s socioeconomic program in the next five years is to limit private vehicles and to spur the utilization of public transports.”
“So, in the coming time, there will be more and more high buildings to be constructed in downtown areas,” he said.
