Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Seoul-based Kyong-Ho Engineering & Architects, forming a strategic partnership to advance sustainable development projects within Clark Freeport.

The partnership supports CIAC’s Seven Flagship Projects, with a special focus on the Dolores River Park and Clark Aviation Park — both central to CIAC’s Urban Renewal and Heritage Conservation Program. These projects aim to address the growing water crisis in Pampanga while promoting climate resilience, ecological restoration, and economic growth through innovative urban design.

“This partnership is a significant milestone under CIAC’s urban renewal initiatives,” said CIAC President and CEO Jojit Alcazar. “The Dolores River Park reflects our vision to transform Clark into a model for sustainable urban development that contributes to regional and national growth.”

The Dolores River Park will stretch 3.9 kilometers along Creekside Road, parallel to the Sacobia River, with nature-centered public spaces, recreational areas, biodiversity corridors, and sustainable mobility infrastructure. The design draws inspiration from global models like Singapore’s Clarke Quay, integrating commercial areas with natural landscapes and advanced water catchment systems to address water resource depletion.

Meanwhile, the Clark Aviation Park will serve as a dynamic community hub featuring rainwater harvesting systems to support operations and demonstrate eco-friendly urban design.

Under the MOU, CIAC and Kyong-Ho will collaborate on joint research, technology transfer, technical training, knowledge-sharing, and capacity-building programs focused on sustainable infrastructure, urban planning, and climate-responsive engineering.

These initiatives align with CIAC’s broader vision for Clark Aviation Capital — set to become the country’s leading aviation-centered business and logistics hub, capitalizing on Clark’s strategic location in Luzon.
