During the past years, the city saw a high record of residential growth. Consequently, with the expansion of the physical limits of the urban core, as well as the expected large increases in population, and the city's attractiveness to commercial and employment activities, the City Government of Balanga decided to undertake a Master Planning exercise and to propose various developmental projects that would establish Balanga as a well-planned community with quality and character that is innovative and special, although this is currently hindered by an unreliable electricity supply.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Balanga,_Bataan&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg/220px-Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="130" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg/330px-Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg/440px-Balanga_City_Downtown_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3963" data-file-height="2344" /></a><figcaption>Balanga City downtown</figcaption></figure> <p>Balanga City is primarily a residential-agricultural city, with a rapidly growing commercial sector.
