Tan Binh borders district 3, district 10, district 11, district 12, Tan Phu, Gò Vấp and Phú Nhuận. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is located in Tan Binh. Once the largest urban district of Ho Chi Minh city, Tan Binh was partitioned to create Binh Tan and Tan Phu. Like Binh Thanh, the whole area of these three districts consists of vast maze of residential area, which grew organically for more than 40 years without any urban planning.
