PAMPANGA has the potential to be the urban growth center that could be the counter-magnet to congested Metro Manila. Palafox Associates and Palafox Architecture Group’s urban design and master plan for the Pampanga Megalopolis categorizes the province into four metropolitan clusters to optimize the province’s rich natural and manmade resources. The urban master plan creates various tourism circuits to suit different types of tourists. Riverfront development can also be a source of cultural tourism, ecotourism and urban renewal for the megalopolis, and the transformation of the Pampanga Riverfront will interconnect the various communities with promenades and linear parks. Pampanga Megalopolis has a high development potential and the opportunity to become one of the most livable, sustainable and resilient places.
