For centuries, people have shaped Manila for their gains. The form of life is a moving energy among beings. This future flows and shares, not restricts and owns; not merely adding flora and fauna but living with them as one. Social movements of flowing and sharing comprise this 8-fold program:

Green Network is a flood-proof network of footbridges. Continuous paths connect people and animals, not cars. While private properties disconnected lives, Green Network links lives by penetrating buildings, growing plants, and enriching pedestrian experience.

Urban Farming (UF) is an existing concept that brings food production into cities. UF of the future maximizes food cycle by relying on composts, predatory and pollinating insects, and treated wastewater as safe irrigation.

Urban Trees are beyond novelties, fruit-bearing, medicinal, habitats, water reservoirs, and temperature regulators – contributions needed in Manila’s parks, roads, building terraces, and riverbanks. 

Responsible Waste Management supports a renewed non-materialistic culture. This three-part project, infrastructure, mindset, and generation, aims to reduce carbon footprint and maximize waste that returns to the ecological chain.

River Revival resuscitates Manila’s waterways through sanitation, transport, parks, and river activities. Chores and play become part of daily river life. Native species are reintroduced, egrets nest while fishes thrive on mangroves.

House of Manila (HOM) starts as adaptive reuse of Bilibid Prison as Manila Shelter. It welcomes people and animals while collaborating with institutions and communities. It changes how people share the city and becomes the city’s HOM.

Building for Birds, Bats, Bees calls for changing people’s mentality about them, integrating their habitat with public areas, eventually, buildings, and mutually living with them.Roads to Life or DeMe and WiRe (Decommissioning-Merging, Widening-Realigning) reduces vehicular roads and reclaims them for life use such as riverbanks, mangroves, parks, and shared spaces.
