Smart city: These are the two words that best describe Mayor Abigail “Abby” Binay’s vision for Makati City. As the country’s leading financial hub, Makati City has developed numerous partnerships with the private sector to achieve technological advancements and innovations that extend to its infrastructure and community projects.

The latest of these is the Makati subway that will provide citizens a faster, more efficient, and comfortable way of moving across the city.

Spanning 10 kilometers, the subway is targeted to become fully operational by 2025. The mayor is also spearheading the integration in a complex of the city’s police, fire, and public safety central offices. A stand-alone structure for the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Office is being developed as well, with a complementing DRRM Academy to follow. Then there’s the Ospital ng Makati, which will have a new cancer institute with state-of-the-art facilities, set to be completed by 2022.

Such digital innovations, service-oriented technology, and exceptional facilities are all part and parcel of Mayor Binay’s dream of elevating Makati into a smart city.
