The city government of Manila and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to update the comprehensive land use plan of the city.
Mayor Maria Sheila “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan said the partnership will help Manila become a world-class global capital city.
DHSUD Secretary Jerry Acuzar signed the MOU.
Lacuna said that the collaboration will be the blueprint to realize her vision to transform Manila into a global city equal that or even better than Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo.
The plan will create safe, vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, while ensuring that all the residents will have decent and affordable housing.

The plan is for the premiere city of the country to serve as a model for other highly urbanized cities,” the mayor added.
