We are pleased to present the first ever Green Map of Metropolitan Manila -National Capital Region (MMR-NCR), Philippines. Developing the Green Map for MMR-NCR is important because it is composed of 14 cities and three (3) municipalities occupying an area of 636 square kilometers. It has a current population of over 10 million people and is one of the 15 most populous/dense urban areas in the world. By highlighting the green areas of Metro Manila , we hope to generate some personal involvement in urban renewal. We hope you can be part of this project that encourages discovery of nature, builds respect for special areas in your community, helps you develop a sense of place and belonging, promotes community pride, and helps initiate urban sustainability projects.
