Pampanga to be 'walkable' megalopolis

FORMER president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would like to see the proposed Pampanga Megalopolis to be more "walkable" and "bikeable" to protect the environment and improve the quality of life among residents, workers and tourists.

Arroyo, who is the presidential adviser for Clark flagship projects, said the Pampanga Megalopolis should embrace green urbanism to reduce carbon footprints in communities and destinations by making them more walkable and bikeable. "It ensures that the community achieves a balanced lifestyle where there is work, play, living and worship," she said in a statement.
