Metro Manila is running out of space.

With more than 13.4 million people packed into just over 619 square kilometers, the Philippine capital region has become one of the most densely populated urban areas in the country. At the same time, it remains the country’s economic core, driving a major share of national output. So what happens when a city keeps growing but the land does not? You build new land.  

In this video, we explore the massive transformation of Manila Bay through land reclamation, artificial islands, smart city plans, waterfront business districts, and future focused urban design. From Harbor City and SM’s New Manila Bay project to Horizon Manila, Solar City Manila, and the proposed City of Pearl, this is the story of how Metro Manila could reshape its coastline and redefine its future.  

We cover:
Metro Manila’s population pressure
Why reclamation is accelerating
Harbor City and Pasay 265
SM New Manila Bay and its artificial islands
Horizon Manila and Solar City
City of Pearl and the future of smart urban living
