The total permanent population in this area would be 145,400; the number of working people there 219,200 people; and visitors 1 million.
The Thu Thiem new urban area covers 657 hectares of land in the wards of An Khanh, Thu Thiem, An Loi Dong and part of Binh An and Binh Khanh Wards.
It is divided into 5 main zones, including the centre, the central lake, the southern part, the eastern residential area, the northern part of the East-West highway and the remaining area.
