A major urban transformation is taking shape as the former Pochentong airport site is set to become a landmark cultural and public space, drawing comparisons to Central Park in New York. The project reflects Cambodia’s vision to create a vibrant green hub at the heart of Phnom Penh, enhancing urban living and community wellbeing.
Key highlights include:
- Redevelopment of the former Pochentong airport into a large-scale cultural and public green space
- Vision to create a central urban “green lung” for recreation, culture, and community activities
- Strong focus on improving quality of life and sustainable city development
- A landmark project positioned to elevate Phnom Penh’s global city appeal
With its scale and ambition, the development represents a significant step in Phnom Penh’s urban evolution, reinforcing the city’s commitment to modern, livable, and future-ready environments.
