Despite significant investments in the drainage system by the Ho Chi Minh City government, urban flooding remains a pervasive issue. This paper investigates the willingness of local households to financially contribute to a new flood control system designed to mitigate high tide-induced inundation. Utilizing the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), our findings indicate that residents are prepared to contribute between 220,000 VND and 250,000 VND for the project’s implementation.
