Thủ Đức City, formerly known as Thủ Đức District, has emerged as a new central economic and technological hub. It was created by merging several districts with the intention of fostering a 'city within a city' to drive innovation and development. Thủ Đức City juxtaposes high-tech parks and academic institutions with traditional markets and residential areas. It's an area to watch, as it's rapidly developing with infrastructure projects aimed at improving connectivity and living standards.
