The process of merging provinces not only means reorganizing the administrative-economic space but also sets new requirements for population planning, infrastructure distribution and social security policies. In particular, social housing emerged as a strategic pillar – both solving the real housing needs of the workforce and being a tool to regulate urban and industrial development in a sustainable direction.
Based on the latest synthesis of social housing development targets for the period 2022–2030, it is clear that a new order is forming: provinces/cities after merger not only expand in administrative scale but also accelerate in establishing social infrastructure. The following top 10 localities leading in social housing indicators are becoming bright spots in the development strategy of dynamic regions, where social security is placed alongside economic growth and investment attraction.

With a total target 169,100 units, the expanded Ho Chi Minh City area (including Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau) is the center of urbanization, industrialization and real housing demand. The dense network of industrial parks – export processing zones and satellite urban ecosystems help create a large demand for social housing for the workforce and experts.

The target of 147,100 units clearly reflects the orientation of Bac Ninh province (including Bac Giang) to become a key high-tech industrial super zone. FDI capital flows have increased sharply, especially in the electronics sector, boosting housing demand for foreign workers and experts.

Tay Ninh (including Long An) plays the role of a gateway connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Mekong Delta region. The target of 83,100 units sets expectations for creating a network to serve cross-border industrial zones and regional economic development.

Dong Nai (66,700 units, including Binh Phuoc) and Phu Tho (64,400 units, including Hoa Binh and Vinh Phuc) are two provinces emerging as industrial pillars in the North and South. While Dong Nai benefits from key infrastructure such as Long Thanh airport, Phu Tho plays an important role in connecting the Northwest region with the capital, with an expanding network of industrial parks and a large demand for social housing for industrial workers and population relocation.

With a target of 56,200 units, Hanoi is promoting the development of social housing in satellite cities such as Hoa Lac, Son Tay, and Phu Xuyen. Social housing in Hanoi not only meets the housing needs but is also a strategic solution for population dispersion, supporting the development of high-tech zones and new urban areas on the outskirts of the city in a sustainable manner.
With the target of 49,400 units, Hai Phong (including Hai Duong after the merger) is promoting the development of social housing to serve the workforce in industrial parks and seaports such as Dinh Vu – VSIP – Nam Cau Kien. The integration of Hai Duong helps expand the industrial – urban space, creating great pressure on the demand for social housing and worker housing.

After merging with Thai Binh, Hung Yen has a target of 48,500 units, positioned to become the center of urban-industrial development of the capital belt. High-tech and logistics zones, and population migration from Hanoi create a great demand for low-cost housing, contributing to promoting sustainable development in the expanded eastern area of the capital.

Despite not being in the key economic region, these provinces in the West and Central Highlands are rising with social housing policies aimed at disadvantaged communities, ethnic minorities and the rural labor force shifting to industry.

The establishment of specific social housing targets in localities after the merger not only demonstrates policy determination, but also opens up real investment space for real estate enterprises, industrial park infrastructure investors and medium- and long-term investors. It is no longer a simple social security support segment, but is becoming a mandatory component in urban-industrial-logistics planning in new dynamic regions.
From an investment perspective, areas with high social housing indexes are the places that attract labor flow, urban population dispersion, and increase sustainable development density. Businesses that move early, align with planning, and collaborate closely with local authorities will gain not only advantages in legal frameworks, land resources, and preferential capital, but also be positioned as key players in the post-merger regional development strategy..
After the merger, provinces/cities not only change in administrative boundaries but are entering a phase of comprehensive restructuring in terms of planning, infrastructure and development policies. In that picture, social housing becomes a core foundation to ensure social cohesion, retain the workforce and promote sustainable urbanization..
The top 10 provinces/cities leading in social housing indicators for the 2022–2030 period are not simply numbers – but signals of the synchronous movement between planning vision and market demand. With an expanding population structure and strong FDI flows into industry and logistics, the merged provinces are forced to take a step forward in creating a housing fund to serve social security and stability.
