Vietnam's Vinhomes 'Green Paradise' Earns Interim Smart City Certification

Vinhomes' 'Green Paradise' new city project in Vietnam has achieved an interim ISO 37122 smart city certification. Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC) provided consulting and technical advisory services for the project.

The interim certification was granted based on future city plans and data management systems proposed during the development phase, before the city's completion. The World Council on City Data (WCCD) and the Standards Organisation of the City Indicators (SUM) conducted the evaluation and certification.

KMAC has been involved since the project's inception, analyzing urban development plans alongside international standard indicators and designing smart city Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and data management systems. The 'Green Paradise' project is a new city development spanning 28.7 million square meters in the Can Gio district of Ho Chi Minh City. It features a 121 km coastline, a low building coverage ratio of 16%, and incorporates environmental conservation measures, being located near the UNESCO Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve.

Vinhomes and KMAC are working towards full certification by 2030. This will involve assessing infrastructure construction and operational data from 2027 to 2029, followed by verification of city operational performance in 2030, linking ISO 37120 and ISO 37122. KMAC plans to continue supporting the integration of urban data operations and the refinement of AI-based operational models until the 2030 certification.
