(CGC) project, one among those lined up under President Duterte's Build Build
Build Infrastructure Program.
Surprisingly, the latter is envisioned to help decongest main urban centers
while creating a new area for economic growth in the region.
‘The CGC project was approved by the National Economic Development
Authority (Neda) Board in May 2014. Consequently, the CGC master
development plan stresses the place will have the following zon
commercial/financial center, industrial, institutional, residential, urban
farmland and public realm, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority
(BCDA) Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications Office Leilani
Macasaet said,
Other salient features of the Clark Green City are disaster resilience, proximity
to connectivity infrastructure, fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, green and
sustainable development, smart development and socially inclusive
development.
“Strategically located, Clark is 120 kilometers away from Manila via the North
Luzon Expressway, a mere 20 kilometers from the Clark International Airport,
and 90 kilometers from the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales. Located inside the
Clark Special Economic Zone, it [CGC] is designed to be the Philippines's
largest and first smart, green, disaster-resilient city, where nature, lifestyle,
business, education and industry converge” Macasaet said.
She said various partnerships with international and local industry experts in
the master planning of CGC have been made.“For example, we formed a joint-venture company with the Japan Overseas
Investment Infrastructure Corp. for Transport and Urban Development, which
will develop a Japan-oriented park and transportation system within Clark
Green City? she said.
Filinvest Land Inc, will develop 288 hectares for mixed-use, commercial,
residential, office and institutional purposes.
Macasaet said there will be a public-private partnership with Hitachi Asia Ltd.
for the installation of a fully integrated system for optimized energy supply for
CGC, while Huawei Technologies Philippines Ltd. will do a feasibility study on
the safe city solutions project. CGC will benefit not only Region 3, but the
entire nation.
CGC, as a hub for economic growth, is truly seen as positively impacting, not
only the lives of the people within Clark and its surrounding communities, but
also the nation as a whole. The business hubs in CGC will generate jobs for
many Filipinos, and residential areas within it will enable them to have ease of
mobility between work and home.
“Basically, CGC will be master planned to contain an industrial sector featuring
green industries, agriculture-centered communities with support facilities,
business hubs and academic institutions. The larger labor pool of the Central
Luzon region and its local community living within the so-called ‘rice bowl of
the Philippines’ will directly benefit from these developments, given its
proximity,’ she said.
Focusing on the benefits of Clark Green City for Central Luzon, the project will
definitely strengthen the region's position as the country’s newest growth hub,
leveraging also on the existing gains of the Clark Special Economic Zone.
Among the benefits will be in the areas of agricultural produce, population,
Gross Regional Domestic Product, tourism and real estate.“With the current administration committed to aid in improving road
networks and other transportation infrastructure to and from Region 3, the
presence of CGC in the region will further entice businesses to the area,
helping drive economic growth by providing employment opportunities and
generating new sources of revenue for the Local Government Units,” Macasaet

She said upon full development, the CGC is estimated to have 1.12 million
residents and 800,000
Macasaet said the preparatory work for Clark Green City has already started,
with the first phase to be completed by 2020.
‘The comprehensive master development plan results are expected to be
completed by the third quarter of 2017, while the detailed development
planning of pioneer developments is targeted to be accomplished during the
first quarter of 2018. Meanwhile, the start of the site development for pioneer
developments is expected to be done by the second quarter of 2018.
Macasaet said the comprehensive master plan of Clark Green City is being
completed by AECOM, Nippon Koei and Philkoei International Inc.
Being socially inclusive, CGC will be open to people from all walks of life to
foster genuine communities. It will be made to be enjoyed by the public—local
farmers and indigenous peoples from the area will be provided with livelihood
opportunities so they will find their niche in CGC.(whereinpampanga.com) On the 28" of uly, year 2014, the Congress of the Philippines signed
Resolution 116 expressing the support to the “Clark Green City" Master Development Plan.
prepared by Bases Conversion Development Authority after the approval of NEDA board and
Presidentaguino.
‘The Clark Green City is envisioned to home some 1.12 milion residence, 800 thousand workers
and provide a gross output of USD34 billion per year to Philippine's economy.
Nestled at the heart of Luzon, this PHP1.7 trillion project is managed by Bases Conversion
Development Authority (8CDA), a government-owned and controlled company responsible for
_great sites like:
* Atmanda Eco Park (formerly Bataan Technology Park)
+ Poro Point in San Fernando, La Union
‘* John Hay Special Economic Zone in Baguio
* Subic Bay Freeport Zone
+ Fort Bonifacio in Manila
* and, Clark Tourism & Business Complex
CDA managed to partner with foreign firms develop Clark Green City such as United Arab
Emirates-based Al Ahli Holding Group which plans tourism-related projects in the area, Japan
Overseas Infrastructure investment Corp. which plans to connect Clark Green City to Manila as
well as surrounding cities by rail, and IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute which will
assist the companyto come up with “smart and disaster-resilient' features for the planned
community.
CGC involves the development of some 36,000 hectares of land approximately half the size of
‘Metro Manila. Based on the approved masterplan it shall have five districts namely
government, central business, academic, agriforestry research and development, and wellness
and eco-tourism.‘The Clark Green City will be only +20 kilometers north of Manila via the North Luzon Expressway
(NLE® and 90 kilometers from the Subic Bay Freeport via the Subic-Tarlac-Clark Expressway
(ScTeX).
‘Arnel Paciano D. Casanova, Bases Conversion and Development Authority president and CEO,
and his group made 2 presentation to Tarlaquenos underscoring the importance of the Clark
Green City, to be put up mainly in the areas of Bamban and Capas towns, which are immediate
neighbors of Clark in Pampanga.
“we adopted the name of Clark because it will be easier for us to sell because Clark is already
known worldwide among many investors. Just like Subic which is popularly known abroad than
Olongapo City and yet its location is in Olongapo.”
Casanova explained thet the project is named only as Clark but its actually a Tarlac project.
He also added that the University of the Philippines is Clark Green City's first locator and will
caver 70 hectares of the entire project.
