City of Pearl: A Vision of a Sustainable Future

Unveiling the First Smart City in Southeast Asia by Hpa Architects Engineers and Development Consultants

Spanning across 407 hectares of land, the City of Pearl is a master plan that integrates commercial, residential, and hospitality sectors. The design is unique in its approach to harmonize with its surroundings. Community-oriented facilities are strategically placed to instill a sense of place among visitors and residents. A waterway, streaming with water taxis, offers an alternate mode of transportation, allowing individuals to enjoy the scenic sea view and lush greenery.

The City of Pearl is not just a city, but an experience. It offers visitors a taste of Manila's luxurious lifestyle. The city comprises office buildings, exhibition venues, and multi-use residential areas, offering comprehensive services covering entertainment, leisure, tourism, education, and sports facilities. All residential and hospitality structures aim to provide 5-star comfort, while offices are built to the highest standard of Grade A. The city's entertainment, exhibition, sports hub, and other facilities are set to be at a world-class standard.

What sets the City of Pearl apart from other urban developments is its commitment to sustainability and technology. The city is designed to become the first smart city in Southeast Asia, with artificial intelligence integrated into the smart grid for real-time optimal efficiency. Renewable energy sources like solar and tidal power are used to ensure effective energy production and consumption.

The project, commissioned in 2016, is currently ongoing and is projected to finish in 2020. Located at the coastline of Manila in the Philippines, the City of Pearl signifies a new era of urban planning and design. The project has already garnered recognition, winning the Golden in A' City Planning and Urban Design Award in 2018. This prestigious award is granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, and significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.

The City of Pearl is more than just a city; it's a vision of a sustainable future. It's a testament to the power of design and innovation in shaping our world and improving our quality of life. As we look forward to its completion, we can't help but marvel at the promise it holds for the future of urban living.
