The Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway is a 94-kilometer toll road that traverses four Central Luzon provinces and connects three economic zones (i.e., Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, and the Hacienda Luisita and Technopark), In 2008, the Subic Clark-Alliance for Development Council (SCADC) commissioned TAM Planners to formulate the SCAD-Corridor Conceptual Land Use Plan (SCoLUP) for a 10-kilometer wide corridor along the entire 94-kilometer-long SCTEx. TAM Planners prepared a conceptual land use plan for a 100,000-hectare area in thirteen cities and municipalities that would support three hubs of production and logistics that could consequently evolve and merge into a competitive Logistics mega-hub in Asia.

The three principals of the firm with a complement of other experts and technical staff initially prepared an overall framework plan for the entire corridor based on the preliminary data gathered, focus group discussions with the mayors and planners of the LGUs, and ocular surveys of the Study Area.

More detailed investigations and analyses were done for each municipality and city to examine the current economic activities and potential individual roles in the envisioned production and logistics corridor. Sieve mapping as an analytical process was undertaken for each municipality to determine their development potentials and constraints. A consultative process was adopted which provided several opportunities for the stakeholders to review the SCOLUP in three stages of its development.
