Defining the News
The Philippines may not yet have the model for an inclusive and sustainable community or city—but it is not far off from establishing one. At least two pioneering businessmen have the foresight to build a satellite city that hopefully will rectify the past mistakes of city planning., chairman of Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc.
Satellite cities will generate new jobs and can, perhaps, reverse the migration of workers to Metro Manila. By decongesting Metro Manila, the capital region can plan and respond better to the demand for infrastructure and social services of a growing population. Dubbed the Technology City, the Silicon Valley-like enclave will initially require a development investment of $2 billion. Mr. Uy expects the Tech City to attract the biggest IT companies in the world and the best ICT talent in the country.
Mr. Uy has advised Pampanga businesses to look at digitalization to boost their growth, especially as the company’s young and modern fiber network has long been established in Central Luzon. The cost of poorly planned urbanization, according to the UN, can be seen in some of the huge slums, tangled traffic, greenhouse gas emissions and sprawling suburbs all over the world.
