Author(s): Pham Dinh Kien, Bui Tuan Anh

Abstract:

Thu Duc City (HCMC) has been allowed by the Central Government to establish and operate with the country's first “city within a city” model. After nearly a year of implementing this model, Thu Duc City's mechanism is still a district-level mechanism. To achieve the goal of being a breakthrough nucleus that can create added value equal to 1/3 of Ho Chi Minh City's, about 7% of the country's GDP as Ho Chi Minh City and the Central Government expect, it is necessary to decentralize and give special rights to Ho Chi Minh Thu Duc City has focused, on synchronized solutions in all fields. This article aims to propose that Ho Chi Minh City decentralizes and authorizes Thu Duc City in important areas of socio-economic management. This will create conditions for Thu Duc City to promote dynamism and creativity in management, to promote the city's sustainable development. Through decentralization and authorization, Thu Duc City can decide and implement local development policies, projects, and plans, while making the most of local potential and resources.
