Location within Hồ Chí Minh City
Tân Bình borders district 3, district 10, district 11, district 12, Tân Phú, Gò Vấp and Phú Nhuận. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is located in Tân Bình. Once the largest urban district of Hồ Chí Minh City, Tân Bình was partitioned to create Bình Tân District and Tân Phú District. Like Bình Thạnh, these three districts comprise a vast residential area which grew organically for more than 40 years without any urban planning.
