“This is a continued cooperation with JICA and the Japanese government, particularly to implement the Infrastructure Masterplan for Davao,” Mayor Duterte said in a statement sent through the City Information Office.
During the study tour, Mayor Sara and the other officials discussed the best practices in Tokyo Urban Planning, Suburban Area Science City planning, Murasaki River Pollution Prevention, and Kitakyushu Environmental and International Strategy.
