In line with this, Surbana Jurong will help in drafting the development management, design standard guidelines, and environmental guidelines to complement New Clark City’s Comprehensive Master Development Plan developed by BCDA and JOIN.

It will also establish the smart city framework for New Clark that will have fully integrated infrastructure and utilities for power, water, sewerage, information and communication technology (ICT), security and traffic management.

The transformation of this area will bring about sustainable growth and create jobs locally, and ultimately bring about long-lasting economic and social benefits for the country,” said Wong Heang Fine, group CEO of Surbana Jurong, in a press release.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
