New Clark City has been touted as the first "smart,
green, disaster-resilient city", and is among the biggest projects in
President Rodrigo Duterte's eight trillion Philippine peso (S$204 billion)
Build, Build, Build infrastructure plan.
It will be bigger than Manhattan when completed in 30 to 40 years,
with a population of some two million, and is expected to contribute about 1.57
trillion Philippine pesos a year to the national economy.
Surbana Jurong inked the agreement with the Philippines' Bases
Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Japan Overseas Infrastructure
Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (Join).
Surbana Jurong will assist BCDA and Join in drafting the
development management framework, design standard and environmental guidelines
to complement the masterplan of New Clark City, it said in a joint statement
yesterday.
It will also help in utilising public-private partnerships to
entice investors
