The Greenprint 2030 is a resolute
attempt on the part of MMDA to engage all stakeholders in a
process to create a common vision for the region’s future.
For the first time, all 16 cities and one municipality
comprising Metro Manila are linked under one vision that
sets developmental priorities for the region and provides
direction to achieve those priorities. The vision is
formulated within the wider Mega Manila context, considering
the shared challenges and opportunities with adjacent
provinces. Like other metropolitan plans, Greenprint 2030
starts with a vision. However, it differs from the
comprehensive metropolitan planning exercises in that it
focuses on developing strategic areas of opportunity.
Through the vision process, connectivity, inclusiveness, and
resilience emerged as the key entry points for strategic
engagement. Based on the vision the Greenprint 2030 will
provide metropolitan wide spatial guidance, demonstrate
coordination mechanisms, and identify areas for catalytic
investments. The green in Greenprint goes beyond trees and
open spaces green is efficient transportation, affordable
housing, and more resilient infrastructure. It emphasizes
sustainable urban development as the underlying principle
across the three themes of inclusivity, connectivity, and
resiliency. These sectors work together to enable more
efficient use of resources and to create a livable urban
environment. The Greenprint 2030 offers the strategic
direction which informs comprehensive spatial and
development plans prepared by national and local government
agencies, related to Metro and Mega Manila. Through this
process, more options for metropolitan governance will also
be examined. The aim is to equip the metropolitan area to
compete globally and to provide its citizens a safe,
resilient, and green environment.
