Social Mix and the Public Spaces of Apartment Complex of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam

Vietnamese megacities have been remarkably growing with rapid urbanization and many high-rise housing developments. This study aims to investigate the social mix environment by analyzing various public spaces of the apartment complex in Ho Chi Minh City. By the typology analysis of 97 apartment complexes in the city, this study found that the intensity of social interactions relies on high-end features of the complex, project location, and the economic power of housing developers. In addition, the lower level of social mix in housing development derives from a lack of urban development policy for social integration and land compensation system in housing development. Therefore, the government needs to improve the legal system of urban development and compensation procedure. In addition, more affordable housing projects which are bigger than medium-sized complexes should be provided with social interaction environment in public spaces.
