AI City Planner project of Naga City gets DEPDev nod, funding grant
Naga City has been awarded a P6.793 million grant to develop the Philippines' first AI City Planner, aimed at creating a people-centered and sustainable transport and land-use system.
The grant was secured from the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DepDev) as part of their 2025 Innovation Grants.
This AI-powered system will enhance Naga City's monitoring and evaluation of transport and land-use projects.
Mayor Leni Robredo stated that the AI City Planner will enable more effective, people-centric planning, monitoring, and evaluation.
The initiative aligns with Robredo's broader goal of achieving open, digital, and participatory governance in Naga City by 2028.
The development comes in the wake of Tropical Storm Crising, which highlighted the Philippines' vulnerability to flooding and the effectiveness of current flood control projects.
