Urban planning context

Pasig is the smallest NCR city by area (31.5 km²) but one of the most economically dense — Ortigas Center accounts for a disproportionate share of the city's PHP 13.9B budget through real-property tax. The CLUP must mediate three pressures: continued vertical densification of the Ortigas-Pioneer commercial spine, the residential gentrification of Kapitolyo and Bagong Ilog, and the persistent flooding risk along the Pasig River corridor — particularly in Maybunga, Manggahan, and Pinagbuhatan barangays. The Pasig River rehabilitation program directly affects waterfront barangays and ties into the city's planned Pasig River Esplanade transit-tourism alignment. The PNR Manila-Calamba revival and proposed Metro Manila Subway alignments traverse the city.
