Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio has embarked on a groundbreaking Smart City Certification Project in collaboration with Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC), the World Council on City Data (WCCD), and the Standardised Urban Metrics (SUM) initiative. This initiative seeks to position Vinhomes Green Paradise as Vietnam's first internationally certified smart city, establishing new benchmarks for sustainable and intelligent urban development.
The project aims to achieve the WCCD-SUM Custom ISO 37122 Smart City Certification, which is based on a tailored indicators framework for greenfield developments. KMAC will provide strategic consulting to align the city's development with ISO 37122 indicators, focusing on mobility, energy, environment, safety, and digital infrastructure.
The WCCD and SUM, based in Toronto, are developing a customised indicators framework to guide the smart city certification process. An interim certification is expected within 2026, with full certification to follow in later phases. Chulse Oh, Head of AX Group at KMAC, stated, "This project symbolises a landmark collaboration between Vietnam and Korea in advancing global smart city standards."
Vinhomes Green Paradise is strategically located near the Can Gio Sea and the UNESCO-recognised Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve. The development spans 2,870 hectares with a construction density of only 16%. It aims for 100% clean electricity and net-zero emission transportation, including electric vehicles and a high-speed railway to Ho Chi Minh City.
The project also emphasises biodiversity conservation and ecosystem regeneration, aligning with Ho Chi Minh City's climate adaptation strategy. A dedicated fund supports mangrove restoration, reinforcing the development's commitment to sustainability. Vinhomes Green Paradise is the first participant in the 7 Wonders of the Future Cities campaign, highlighting its role as a model for sustainable urban innovation
