The Phnom Penh city hall master plan (2015-2035) has designated the area south of the capital to be developed into a green city and the most important high-end commercial centre in 15 years, according to a Prince Real Estate statement on their website.

Phnom Penh Municipality and the city of Paris conducted a study for a master plan on urban development in the southern part of Phnom Penh, as Paris has long experience in building green development zones in the city.

Meat Measpheakdey, a spokesman at Phnom Penh Municipality, told Construction & Property Magazine in May that the technical team from Paris mainly aimed to map the locations of major infrastructure such as roads, sewage systems, the interconnection of roads, mapping green space areas, and preparing for future infrastructure.
