The Master Plan will provide the overall framework that will guide policy-makers, local chief executives and program/project implementers in the provision of the necessary policy, regulatory, and strategic and integrated infrastructure intervention in General Santos City. It will contain an infrastructure investment program that contributes to agreed development goals on inclusive growth, ecosystem protection and conservation, culture and heritage preservation, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, water quality improvement and upgrading human settlements. The sustainable development of General Santos City, the only highly urbanized city in Region 12 (Soccsksargen) and is part of BIMP-EAGA, is critical to the region’s vision of becoming an agri-industrial hub and ecotourism center in southern Philippines.
