Despite the decline of the utilization of the city's abundant waterways due to the increasing development of modern aerial services and more convenient roads, the HCMC's canal-based urban form, with its water-based socio-economic structures that include port-boat-market activities and canal handcraft villages, still processes a rich cultural and religious diversity that dates back to the history of the city itself. Currently, developments in the city's transportation systems are having a damaging impact on the canals' cultural background. Rather than being recognized as a significant cultural asset that identifies the city, the canal system has been physically reorganized as the city's drainage system and valued as only a supplementary landscape element; canal communities have been evicted, and canal built fabric has been removed due to recent canal-side transportation developments. To revitalize the urban cultural identity that is possessed by the canal system and to enrich it as a contemporary valuable layer in the city's dynamic regional development, it is critical to implement cultural conservation and tourism in the development of canal-side transportation and supplementary projects in the canal vicinity.
