PASAY HARBOR CITY: The Manhattan of Manila Bay.
Pasay is one of the smallest cities in Metro Manila. Its land area measuring barely 18 sq. km., half of which is occupied by the airport complex for which the Pasay City Government derives no income from real property tax.
To address urban congestion and decay, Pasay City has opted to harness its municipal waters for land reclamation to build a cosmopolitan, eco-friendly, and iconic waterfront city. Harbor City will create coastal mixed-use communities with every part of the development accessible within 15 minutes, its spatial organization designed to support how people work and live in a modern city.
With its seven master-planned, uniquely designed, and future-proof interconnected districts that put emphasis on work, life, and recreation, Harbor City will be the crown jewel of the Manila Bay area when it rises above water by 2025, and is completed by 2028.
Two components of the project will promote sustainability โ Blue Infrastructure and Green Infrastructure.
Blue Infrastructure focuses on harnessing the fullest potentials of Harbor Cityโs waterways while Green Infrastructure emphasizes on revitalizing the ecology of Manila Bay through increased greenery.
Blue Infrastructure will involve the planting of mangroves as well as construction of landscaped roadways and wetlands to allow for biodiversity. As part of its commitment to reduce waste and reuse its resources, Harbor City will implement automated trash collectors and rainwater collection and storage facilities.
Green Infrastructure will focus on building greenery which would ensure a balanced ecological system. Trees and plants will surround the development in order to attract birds and other wildlife.
The integrated development of Harbor City into a new eco-friendly investment, commercial and tourism hub will help accelerate economic development while uplifting the quality of life of Metro Manila residents, and supporting the rehabilitation of Manila Bay. Thus, Harbor City will balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economy, the people and the environment.
Pasay Harbor City Corporation (PHCC) is the Project Developer of the Harbor City Project, which is being undertaken through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the Pasay City Government and with the approval of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) and the Office of the President.
