Dynamic living in a sustainable megacity

The golf course in Villar City will cater to both professional tournaments and everyday golfers.

Beyond designs and masterplans, the best cities are those that come alive with the vibrant rhythms of daily life.

When streets invite movements, parks encourage gatherings and neighborhoods instill a sense of belonging, every public space transforms into a stage for community, creativity, and shared experiences—fueling that dynamic spirit that makes a city come alive.

Where life happens

Villar City, an emerging megacity spanning 3,500 hectares across 13 towns and cities in southern Mega Manila, realizes this all too well.

It understands that when cities curate the right experiences and create inviting communal spaces, they transform everyday routines into moments of meaningful connections. Community activities and on-ground events further breathe new life into these urban spaces, where local culture is celebrated.

Thus, by turning roads into running tracks, parks into social spaces, and neighborhoods into bustling hubs of activity, Villar City is proving that urban living can be vibrant and exciting as it is sustainable. Essentially, Villar City is where life truly happens.

‘Car-Free Sundays’

One of the standout initiatives of Villar City is its “Car-Free Sundays”, where its main roads are temporarily transformed into safe, open spaces for pedestrians and cyclists.

Every Sunday morning, residents trade the usual rush hour traffic for a refreshing burst of activity—jogging, cycling, or simply taking a leisurely walk with their loved ones and pets. What makes it even better is that Coach Ben Tanner, a USATF/Endurance Certified Coach, hosts free run clinics, which offer expert guidance. So whether you’re a newbie or a marathoner, you can level up your fitness goals while being part of an active, growing community.

Recently, Villar City held “Fast Track: A Fun Run at Villar City” in partnership with Pace Events and Coach Tanner. Over 700 runners of all skill levels took part in a spirited 3K, 5K, and 10K run, along with a special 1K run for pets, transforming the city’s streets into a lively track of community spirit and wellness.

This event promoted an active and healthy lifestyle, while providing an opportunity for participants to connect with neighbors and fellow fitness enthusiasts.

These thoughtfully planned features ensure that every aspect of daily life—work, play, and everything in between—is integrated well into the urban experience.
