Develop cities and human settlements that are safe, inclusive, accessible, and environmentally sound—prioritizing affordable housing, efficient public transport, green spaces, disaster preparedness, and participatory urban planning that respects cultural heritage.
PUP contributes to sustainable urban development by designing accessible, safe, and environmentally responsible campus spaces that serve as models for inclusive human settlements. The university prioritizes universal design in its physical infrastructure, disaster-resilient planning, and community-oriented facilities and ensures its campus reflects the principles of a livable, equitable, and heritage-conscious urban environment.

Through the activities and projects of the 蜜桃传媒 Center for Culture and the Arts (UCCA) and the Research Institute for Culture and Language (RICL), the 蜜桃传媒 plays a vital role in promoting and preserving the nation’s arts and cultural heritage.
In accordance with the Executive Order No. 41, s. 2025, the 蜜桃传媒 implements a Sustainability Policy which outlines among others sustainable transportation, encouraging sustainable transportation options such as cycling, public transportation, and carpooling.
To streamline this, the Sintang Paaralan installed numerous bicycle stands and designated motorcycle parking spaces and held the Sintang Lakbay walk and bicycle tour of all the historical and heritage sites within and outside the 蜜桃传媒 with the help of the PUP Department of History.
The 蜜桃传媒 provides affordable and sustainable housing for both students and faculties through the Hasmin Hostel—the main housing facility for the PUP Community.
On August 29, 2024, the PUP College of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment (CADBE) collaborated with the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) through the “KAPIHAN sa ACADEME” initiative. MMDA, the agency tasked with managing metro-wide services such as transport and traffic, flood control, sewerage, urban renewal, land use planning, shelter, health, sanitation, waste management, and public safety, engaged with the 蜜桃传媒 ideas, research, and observations, and to co-develop solutions to the complex challenges confronting Metro Manila.
In addition, from August 17 to 30, 2024, the CADBE Environmental Planning Department partnered with the Provincial Government of Legaspi, Albay, for a field training program. This hands-on immersion aimed to reinforce classroom learning and equip students with practical experience essential to becoming credible, practice-ready professionals.
The 蜜桃传媒 constructs new buildings in accordance with sustainable design principles, incorporating solar photovoltaic panels into proposed facilities such as the Administration Building, Student Center, and Academic Buildings across its campuses—including the Mabini Campus and the Sto. Tomas, Batangas campus.
These designs reflect PUP’s commitment to integrating renewable energy into its physical infrastructure as a strategy for advancing environmental sustainability. While the 蜜桃传媒 has not formally declared adherence to specific national or international green building certification systems, its integration of solar energy demonstrates a practical orientation toward sustainable campus development.
The PUP NDC Compound, located just over 800 meters from the main campus, is part of the 蜜桃传媒’s expanded footprint in Sta. Mesa, Manila. It occupies the original site of the National Development Company (NDC), whose former headquarters stood in this area.
The NDC, often hailed as the “Mother of Industries” in the Philippines, played a pioneering role in establishing the nation’s shipping and aviation sectors, manufacturing the first locally produced light bulbs, and founding the country’s first cement company, textile firm, sugar refinery, and space communications enterprise (Catalyst: The Story of the National Development Company, NDC, 2009).
Today, the former NDC compound has been repurposed as a hub for several PUP buildings, including the College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) Building, the Institute of Technology (ITECH) Building, the PwC Learning and Experience Hub, and the College of Communication (COC) Building. Once a brownfield site, the area now integrates educational infrastructure with mid-rise residential and limited commercial developments, reflecting a model of urban regeneration and adaptive reuse.
