| Abstract | The development of the New Manila International Airport (NMIA), in the Municipality of Bulakan, Bulacan, distended into complex dialogues of livelihood displacement, worsened pollution, and increased population among others. While these circumstances are highly significant to the elaborate lives of coastal community locals, it is equally important to consider the adverse effects of large-scale development places on the existing biodiversity, particularly the notable ecological indicators: waterbirds and mangroves. Environmental impact assessments have been undertaken for the airport project, yet their results still show substantial disturbances in the coastal area. With this matter in hand, this study aims to assess the implications of the project development to the ecological indicators and implement a comprehensive coastal aerotropolis planning approach. Ecological baseline, coastal landscape management, and risks and constraints analyses were implemented, feeding to planning scenarios. Ultimately, the most optimal scenario translated into management measures, interventions, and zoning schemes crucial to a mangrove-sensitive and waterbird-centric coastal aerotropolis. |
