Urban planning context

Taguig's planning challenge changed dramatically after the Supreme Court ruling that transferred 10 Embo barangays from Makati to Taguig (Pembo, Comembo, Cembo, etc.). The expanded city now contains the country's premier financial district (BGC, Bonifacio Global City), one of the country's largest informal settlement clusters (Lower Bicutan, Western Bicutan), and the Laguna de Bay shoreline barangays facing chronic flooding (Tipas, Ligid-Tipas, Ibayo-Tipas). The CLUP must absorb the Embo districts while coordinating with the BGC master plan, the Lakeshore master-planned community, and the C5 + C6 expressway alignments. The Taguig riverwalk, Lakeshore reclamation, and Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway interchanges all reshape land use simultaneously.
