The Philippines is Building a Futuristic Mega City From Scratch!

The Philippines is building a massive, 360-hectare futuristic mega city from scratch—and it’s taking over Manila Bay! In this video, we go inside the groundbreaking SM Smart City (Pasay 360), an ambitious urban estate designed to surpass BGC. But the real star of this futuristic city? The "Jungle Nilad"—a massive, revolutionary green eco-park right in the center of the development that brings the original Philippine jungle and native Nilad plants back to the metro waterfront. Is this the future of green, sustainable living in the Philippines, or is it too ambitious? Let's dive into the master plan! 🌿 About the Jungle Nilad Concept: The SM Smart City isn't just about high-rises and concrete; it’s integrating nature at a scale never before seen in the Philippines. Inspired by the native "Nilad" mangrove plant (from which "Maynila" got its name), the Central Park design creates a massive urban "Jungle Nilad" oasis. This regenerative landscape serves as a seasonal water-retention network to protect the city from monsoons, while introducing a massive bio-diverse forest right next to the SM Mall of Asia complex. What do you think of this futuristic project? Will the Jungle Nilad make Manila livable again?
