Is the transport infrastructure of HCMC something you'd like to emulate too?

You shouldn't invest increased housing density without an increased investment in other types of infrastructure, including transport. Transport in London is already uncomfortable at peak times. It could be argued that having more people living in London would mean more people could walk / cycle to work, reducing the strain on public transportation, but it's not a gamble I'd be willing to make.

I was thinking of the new light rail and associated developments http://sggpnews.org.vn/hochiminhcity/first-metro-route-to-co...

The stuff you linked is what they got from low rise sprawl and roads.

Thanks for the link, good to see that the Vietnamese government is investing in light rail for HCMC.
