The regional developmental plan (RPD) to develop a world-class Metro Manila is now being draft by the MMDA. This plan is in line with the National Economic and Development Authority’s (Neda) Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022.

“We have completed the first draft of NCR’s sectoral (–foul word(s) removed–)sment that will go into the RDP. We are now conducting bilateral consultations with different sectors as we delve into crafting crucial strategies for developing the country’s capital, guided by the overall Philippine Development Plan,” said by Faulan quoted by Inquirer.
The RPD will be based on Greenprint 2030, which was launched last 2030. Greenprint 2030 is a 20-year developmental plan in working with the 17 NCR local government units.
