“Our public spaces are as profound we allow them to be.”

Design Concept

The design concept of this segment is derived from having a safe space within the community wherein the users may enjoy the streets without worrying about their safety.

NOLLI MAP Abad Santos Avenue - Rizal Avenue segment resides on the western side of the LRT-1 line.

As seen in the Nolli map, there is a high density of infrastructure in the area. Primarily, these infrastructures are low-to-mid-rise mixed commercial and residential buildings. The open space in the southeastern part of the map is the vista for high-rise condominiums and SM San Lazaro. On the northeastern part of the map is the open space in the Manila North Cemetery.

Road networks in the northern part along the PNR tracks are radial, heading towards the center (LRT-1 Blumentritt station), while the southern part is more of a grid pattern.

It is situated in a busy neighborhood that experiences major developments and has a lot of businesses open. A mixture of institutional, commercial, and residential spaces characterizes the surrounding area. Due to its close proximity to important roadways and public transportation hubs, it also serves as a major transportation hub for the community. Despite the living environment, there are still issues and concerns that must be addressed. These include issues with lack of facilities, safety for pedestrians, traffic congestion, and accessibility.

However, the surrounding area also presents opportunities for tackling these issues through improved urban planning. Actions can be put in place to improve the area’s general livability and functionality, which will benefit both the residents and commuters by acknowledging the importance of the surrounding environment in solving these issues.
