This document outlines the hierarchy and alignment of urban planning from the national to local levels of government in the Philippines. At the national level, the National Physical Framework Plan aligns with the Philippine Development Plan and Medium-Term Philippine Development and Investment Plans. The Regional Physical Framework Plan then aligns with and cascades down from the national plans. Finally, at the local levels, the Provincial/City/Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plans align with and are informed by the regional and national plans. The various plans are meant to guide infrastructure investment programs and annual budgets at their respective governmental levels.
