The Promises and Challenges of the Philippines’ New Climate-Resilient City

New Clark City, a $2.5 billion project in the Philippines, is designed to be a climate-resilient urban hub with plans for green infrastructure, renewable energy, and flood-resistant development. Located 70 miles north of Manila, it aims to house 1.2 million people by 2065. Despite its ambitions, the project faces criticism for prioritizing elites, neglecting affordable housing, and displacing the Indigenous Ayta community without proper consultation. Challenges include limited reliance on renewable energy, climate hazards like typhoons, and controversial government policies that may undermine its sustainability goals. Critics argue that inclusivity and equity must guide its development to fulfill its promise.
