Cagayan de Oro City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for 2024-2032 has been officially ratified by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), paving the way for the city’s Interconnected Development Strategy. DHSUD Secretary Engr. Jose Ramon Aliling signed the approval on August 4, 2026. The approved CLUP promotes balanced, sustainable, and resilient growth while protecting key environmental areas. It identifies eight development thrust areas—CDO East, Central Ridge, Coastal Strip, Downtown, Highlands, Midtown, Port Area, and Uptown—to guide future urban expansion, attract investments, and create more opportunities for Kagay-anons.
