The Camp John Hay Comprehensive Master Development Plan is an ongoing large-scale planning initiative commissioned by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to guide the long-term, sustainable development of the 6.25-million-square-meter Camp John Hay estate in Baguio City.

The project establishes a strategic framework that balances environmental conservation, economic vitality, and cultural heritage, while enhancing Camp John Hay’s role as a premier eco-tourism, leisure, institutional, and mixed-use destination. The plan integrates land-use zoning, infrastructure development, environmental management, mobility, and investment phasing to ensure resilient growth, climate responsiveness, and alignment with national and local development goals.
