Vinhomes Green Paradise has been named the first Official Participant worldwide in New7Wonders' "7 Wonders of Future Cities" campaign, a recognition that underscores the project's potential to redefine urban development for the 21st century. The announcement, made via Media OutReach Newswire, positions the 2,870-hectare coastal development in Can Gio, Vietnam, as a global model for cities that seek to coexist with and regenerate natural ecosystems.
The significance of this recognition lies in its timing and scale. As urbanization accelerates and climate pressures mount, the future of cities will depend increasingly on their ability to integrate nature, technology, and human well-being. Vinhomes Green Paradise stands out across three core pillars: Environment & Nature, Smart Cities, and People-Centered Development. Fronting the sea and bordering the 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized site, the project dedicates just 16% of its land to buildings, leaving the majority for greenery and water, anchored by an 800-hectare natural saltwater lagoon. This design not only preserves but actively regenerates native ecosystems, with a Forest Regeneration and Climate Adaptation Fund focused on restoring the Can Gio mangrove forest as a green shield for the entire urban area.
On the Smart Cities front, Vinhomes Green Paradise integrates IoT, big data, and AI into urban management, operations, and environmental monitoring, creating a modern, safe, and well-run environment. The People-Centered Development pillar is reflected in an ecosystem of internationally oriented healthcare, education, senior living, culture, sports, and entertainment. Future residents will have access to world-class healthcare through Vinmec's collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, international-standard education via Vinschool and Brighton College, and premium senior living through Vin New Horizon. Leisure amenities include the 7-hectare Blue Waves Theatre, two 18-hole golf courses, the 122-hectare VinWonders complex, and Cosmo Bay.
What truly sets Vinhomes Green Paradise apart is its pioneering ESG++ framework, which goes beyond conventional sustainability to include Regeneration and Climate Adaptation. The project targets 100% clean energy, including offshore wind farms 20 kilometers off the coast, and a net-zero-emission internal mobility model with electric vehicles and boats, plus a high-speed rail link to central Ho Chi Minh City. It is also pursuing BREEAM and ISO 37122 certifications. As Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Director of New7Wonders, noted, the project fulfills the campaign's key criteria and reflects a pioneering mission to deliver on ESG commitments and beyond. The global voting phase opens on October 31, 2026, and a vote for Vinhomes Green Paradise represents a commitment to a future where people and nature thrive together.
