Vinhomes announced its intended participation in the campaign after the initiative officially launched on Oct. 31. The global campaign invites citizens worldwide to identify seven cities that best represent innovation, sustainability, and human progress—urban icons that define what it means to be a city of the future.
For the next year, proposals and applications from participant cities and developments will be accepted, followed by the start of the voting phase on Oct. 31, 2026, which will run until the official declaration of the seven cities on Oct. 31, 2027.

Vinhomes Green Paradise, located in the coastal ecological zone of Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, adjacent to the UNESCO-recognized Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, is a modern urban development covering 2,870 hectares, surrounded by a 121-kilometer coastline, including 53 kilometers of public beachfront. Upon completion, it will become Vietnam’s largest coastal residential project, envisioned as a leading regional “eco-tech marine city,” developed under the ESG++ model that integrates smart operation technologies, renewable energy, and a master plan connecting forest and sea.
Vinhomes Green Paradise aims to achieve the BREEAM Communities certification, one of the world’s most rigorous and prestigious standards for sustainable urban planning and development, alongside ISO 37122, the national standard for smart city development.
The project’s operational technologies are designed to strictly adhere to principles of environmental friendliness, natural harmony, energy and water optimization, carbon footprint monitoring, and full renewable energy utilization. It includes the development of an offshore wind power system, located 20 kilometers from the coastline, harnessing natural wind resources through state-of-the-art technology to provide a consistent supply of green energy for the entire ecosystem.

Vinhomes Green Paradise is also investing in the development of green mobility infrastructure, with the goal of ensuring that 100% of vehicles operating within the township achieve net-zero emissions.
With its unique position close to the forest and the sea, the development maintains an average temperature approximately 2 degrees Celsius cooler than central Ho Chi Minh City, positioning itself as a future icon of green and sustainable urban living in southern Vietnam. Committed to contributing to the city’s sustainable growth, Vinhomes Green Paradise strictly complies with all environmental protection standards, with a focus on preserving and regenerating local biodiversity throughout the construction and development process.
Beyond transforming the southern coastal landscape of Vietnam, Vinhomes Green Paradise represents a new benchmark for the cities of the future. The project’s world-class amenities include an 800-hectare saltwater lagoon, the Blue Waves Theatre, an 18-hole golf course, a network of amusement parks, and the Landmark Harbour marina complex, expected to attract up to 40 million visitors annually.

According to Nguyen Thu Hang, CEO of Vinhomes, the values that New7Wonders celebrates align with the vision and development philosophy of Vinhomes, driven by the aspiration to build timeless urban wonders, where people, technology, and nature coexist. “With an urban model designed to meet the world’s most advanced ESG benchmarks, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio stands as a living testament to that vision—a symbol of a new era that defines the standards of future living and preserves enduring values for generations to come.”
Since its founding 25 years ago, New7Wonders, the global organization behind the “New 7 Wonders of the World” and “New 7 Wonders of Nature” campaigns, has become a global cultural phenomenon, engaging hundreds of millions of people worldwide to redefine what constitutes a “wonder” in the modern age.
In 2007, the organization announced the chosen “New 7 Wonders of the World,” including the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum (Italy), and the Taj Mahal (India). In 2011, Ha Long Bay of Vietnam was proudly voted one of the “New 7 Wonders of Nature,” alongside the Amazon, Iguazu Falls, and Jeju Island.
