NEW CLARK CITY THE SITE CHALLENGE

The future development shows a lack of affordable housing provision, mixed-use planning and walkable neighborhoods, adequate streets and lack of baseline data upon which to base strategic planning. The city proposes a development that is not linked to population growth and lacks strategy on how new public infrastructure will match the needs of the new residents in the city. There is also unclarity of how the new development will integrate the existing population living in the planned area for development. Strategic planning is significantly hampered by a governance system that includes many different actors involved in the planning and design of the area but which lacks a solid common framework that guides the development.
