The Clark Green City is a 9,450-hectare development that is envisioned to be the first smart and sustainable city in the Philippines.
Per the Clark Green City Concept Plan, the ideal employee/population ratio is 50-80%; hence the 800,000 projected employees for the CGC at full development in 50 years.
