At the start of the twenty-first century, cities and towns are leading the development drive. Unprecedented levels of urbanization place difficult obligations on countries to meet citizens' needs while sustaining low levels of national GDP. The urbanization of society offers significant opportunities for countries to improve the standard of living for all of their citizens as well as for the government to achieve its main objective of ending poverty.

Metropolitan areas will have 57 percent of the world's population in 2022. Megacities, defined as urban areas with at least 10 million residents, have increased from 36 to 44, an increase of eight.. Employment possibilities in rural areas drastically dropped as a result of greater mechanization and automation, whereas non-agricultural industries in urban areas created more jobs. Along with their political influence, government investments, and general access to goods and services, rural inhabitants greatly diminished.

The growth of cities and towns expands opportunities for all citizens, and the urban built environment can enrich a nation’s cultural identity. But in too many countries poorly managed urbanization results not in widely shared gains in living standards but in significant social and environmental costs. Urban poverty is growing in scale and extent.

EXECUTIVE

Why Barangay 306 and Barangay 384 Quiapo, Manila?

During the initial stages of the research, and on-site fieldwork, we frequently raised the question of why Quiapo? The reasons originate from the interest in its cultural heritage such as the Quiapo Church, the abundance of locally produced goods at inexpensive prices, market areas with active commercial streets, accessible transportation routes, the community's diversity, and the area's commercial and business hub are some of the factors that contribute to this.

When properly managed, urbanization encourages broad improvements in social welfare while enabling sustained economic growth. In most nations, half to four-fifths of GDP is accounted for by industrial and commercial activities that are predominantly situated in metropolitan centers and are supported, marketed, and financed. The necessity for an urgent urban regeneration of Quiapo's architecture is made all the more important by the preservation of the city's rich cultural legacy, which includes—but is not limited to—the Quiapo Church and Golden Mosque.

Fiscal challenges, overcrowding, housing, transportation, pollution, public education, and crime are some of the major issues and problems that currently face our cities. Numerous issues are directly related to the fact that cities are made up of a lot of people crammed into a short amount of area. In our chosen location, our strategy is centered on addressing the problems with land use and zoning, the inadequate road and pedestrian system, the lack of enough green space or nature, the ineffectiveness of the drainage system and waste management, unauthorized settlers, and finally, the peace and security of the area, are all the underlying issues of which are, unfortunately, present in the area.

Our primary design solution for addressing the region's fundamental problems focuses on facilitating markets, fostering economic and social stability, and ensuring equity. Urbanization, when well managed, facilitates sustained economic growth and thereby promotes broad social welfare gains. The selected study area's vision is to provide a formalized on-site settlement upgrading with inclusive community-based planning and methodical building processes, integrating the site into the surrounding areas with enhanced perception and contributing value to the city.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Roads and Site Access

The area's main thoroughfares were cleared to make room for bike lanes and pedestrian walkways In bike lanes, cyclists can travel at their preferred speed without encountering traffic related obstacles, and these lanes promote predictable behavior and movements between bicycles and automobiles. Secondly, the organization of paths and designations of its activities for a variety of uses. The reconstruction of Chica, Paterno Gomez, Carriedo, and P. Ducos, which are the chosen economic routes, should be structured and defined with enough room set aside for salespeople, customers, walkers, bicycles, tricycles, and deliveries.

In terms of the area's accessibility, the inclusion of ferry stations will assist in tying the services extending south down to the coastline together. This will be connected to the Pasig River boat service that is already in place.

Drainage, Sanitation, Water

The researchers suggest a sewage network that will transition from a single-house septic system to a formal site-wide wastewater processing facility. This system uses a single set of sewer pipes to transport both sewage and stormwater. The sewage treatment plant is where the sewage and stormwater are eventually dumped Sewer cleaning will be simple as a result, and maintenance costs will go down. Stormwater also dilutes sewage, reducing its potency. This method is cost effective since it only needs one set of sewers.

Public Spaces

For public areas, including churches and multipurpose buildings, the plan is to retain their locations

and to look for the possibilities of expansion whenever possible. These facilities will offer the local community a more suitable area for social and community events and current structures are to be renovated and enlarged to accommodate a variety of activities including but not limited to gardening, sports, and other activities.

Stablishment and Expansion of a Greener Network

Vertical gardens are a requirement for all currently constructed buildings and businesses as they operate as natural air filters and contribute to the creation of a clean and healthy atmosphere that enhances the general health and productivity of urban areas. In addition to this, public parks are to be renovated to accommodate more greeneries and developments to mimic natural environments. Residential houses are also required to dedicate 10% of their total lot area to greenery.

The project site is located in Barangay 306 and Barangay 384 in Quiapo, Manila. Quiapo is regarded as the "Old Downtown Manila" and is more than just a district. The total land area is about 95, 164. 58 sq. m. 16 % of the total land area of District III, Manila. There an estimated total population of Barangay 306 as determined by the 2020 Census was 1,248 and Barangay 384 population as of the 2020 Census was 3,511.

Quiapo is considered that the site's history and ingrained traditions are what led to the current urban circumstances of the street and its surroundings. The Market's presence was essential to commerce up until this area of Manila became the city's center because Barangay 306 and 384 transformed it into a commercial hub. These elements have a significant role in the region's present land use, which is primarily commercial and mixed-use.

The district in Quiapo, which is bordered by Manila Bay, is a great contemporary spot to buy things including fish, especially for bargains in deals, and crafts, primarily for Chinese products, and other local products.

PHYSICAL CONTEXT

Barangay 306 and 384 made it as a business center during Spanish colonialism and the presence of the Quinta market had been very significant in the trading period up to the period that this part of manila became the heart of the downtown is very important to the current land use of the area which is highly mixed-use commercial.

The present urban conditions of the site locations street and its environs are believed to be the result of its historical and intrinsic traditions.

Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was 1,248. This represented 0.07% of the total population of Manila.

Situated at approximately 14.5971, 120.9822, in the island of Luzon. Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 5.1 meters or 16.7 feet above mean sea level.

EXISTING CONDITION PHISICAL CONTEXT

TOPOGRAPHY

Quiapo, where most commercial, residential and industrial establishments are found, lies on generally flat and highly accessible land, from Barangay 306 elevation is estimated at 7.7 meters or 25.3 feet above mean sea level can be found in this area. While Barangay 384 estimated elevation is 5.1 meters or 16.7 feet above sea level.

CONNECTIONS

Barangay 306 and barangay 384 are located close to major delivery road networks and important tourist and business districts in Quiapo. The main road feeds port access, and the majority of traffic involves a large population of public and private vehicles coming to and from the area. There are times of extreme traffic delays and dangerous shared road spaces.

TRANSPORT

The closest major road access is Quezon Blvd, a short roadway passing through the Quiapo neighborhood of Manila connecting north and southbound districts.

The closest water transport is the Pasig Ferry Lawton, Estero de San Miguel is next to Santa Cruz and is located in the City of Manila, Philippines. Estero de San Miguel has a length of 1kilometerstres. That is split in separate ways.

Carriedo Station is between Central Terminal Station and Doroteo Jose LRT Station Due to commuter arrivals and departures from many locations, this section of Quiapo is one of the busiest Crowding results in a congested pedestrian flow

Natural and Man-Made THREATS

Seismic Hazards:

Prone to Ground shaking. All sites may be affected in the event of an earthquake.

High potential of Liquefaction during the seismic event due to behaves like liquid similar to quicksand due to very strong shaking.

Areas may be prone to tsunamis due to under-the-sea earthquakes of Manila Bay. Possibility of Ashfall during the volcanic events due to the near active vent/ volcano Moderate susceptibility to floods is likely to experience, flood heights of 0 5 meters up to 1 meter and/or flood duration of 1 to 3 days.

An effective starting point for an urban design project is a SWOT analysis. During the project research, researchers’ designers gather information prior to the experience, knowledge, and relevant studies about the project site

This helped to analyze the process's accomplishments and shortcomings from the viewpoint of the individuals and what we see in the environment.

This helped to gain an understanding of the successes and failures within the process and outcome, from the standpoint of the residents themselves.

DOMINANT ROADS/PATHS

The strongest paths in the area consist of three: two roads and one rail transit, which are Quezon Blvd., Carlos Palanca, and the LRT Carriedo Station. This is considered a major thoroughfare in the area in which congested pedestrian and vehicular flow occurs. These roads and paths are surrounded by dominant communities and establishments, which cause the roads and paths to become heavily used It becomes the center of demand, leaving other streets and roads underdeveloped.

QUEZON BLVD

The widest road in the area is dominantly covered by public and private vehicles. Due to massive crowding and weak pedestrian and vehicular ordinances, the area is always experiencing heavy traffic, bad air pollution and road accidents.

CARLOS PALANCA

It is considered a major road due to its access to the McArthur Bridge and Sta. Cruz Plaza.

The vehicular road is surrounded by illegal street vendors and lacks a proper loading and unloading zone, causing congested accessibility for both users. Octopus wiring is also a problem, which might cause fire alarms.

LRT CARRIEDO STATION

The entrance and exits at the station are surrounded by scattered street vendors, which causes an uneasy pedestrian flow. The road under the station is also narrow and full of obstructions, which leads to a disorganized place considering the LRT station is massive public transportation that caters to thousands of commuters

DOMINANT ESTABLISHMENTS

Most social gatherings take place in the center of Quiapo. It has several social and livelihood activities, including local shops, commercial buildings and retail, mixed use, street markets, and gathering events. These areas provide business opportunities, job offers, and an attraction for tourists. The government failed to fund the community in promoting green features, areas for small markets and parking areas.

The existing condition of streets along Quiapo has the highest possibility of development to maintain the purpose of the road for public and private vehicles It is accessible to neighboring cities and barangays.

The site consist of various beliefs share in one city. A wide range of visual sensations, including the existing religious church and mosque; Quiapo Church, constructed in the Baroque style, the Golden Mosque, the arches of Villalobos Street, and the numerous buildings and architectural element types in our chosen location reflects its function that blend with various architectural elements to create visual impacts for its users.

Quiapo is known to its markets lined up on street which somehow causes to a road congestion, crimes in crowded areas. This features causes stamp of personal taste for the area to lost. The government has been working towards cleaning roads, re location of street vendors and clearing illegal parking. The existing condition of the site is on process of re developing its physical and economic features..

There is an obvious lack of nature in Quiapo, parks with gardens, natural shade of trees and plants along pedestrians lanes for aesthetically purposes and quality of air. These can be goof expansion of growing city.

ANALYSIS OF DRAWINGS : KEY FINDINGS AMONG THE EXISTING CONDITION IN THE AREA

COMMUNITIES

Quiapo is considered the old downtown of Manila and, until today, it was one of the busiest and most famous places in Manila. The chosen study is composed of a bisection of two different communities, mainly the Christian and Muslim areas. As the diversity occurs due to different cultures and beliefs, they still share some areas in which local businesses and retail outlets operate

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES

MUSLIM COMMUNITIES

The diversity makes the area special and unique because it represents mutual respect for both culture and religion. However, the marketplace and the place of worship conflict with each other. For instance, in the Christian community, their spiritual place is distracted by the crowd coming from the market, which causes a chaotic area when doing a religious activity. In terms of the Muslim community, consider the different approaches to spiritual activity The current location of the area does not correspond to the mosque, resulting in intrusions and non-related muslin activity.

Aside from that is the absence of waste disposal, which can cause diseases since the area consists of aligned street food vendors, considering that this landmark is also a tourist attractions.

ANALYSIS OF DRAWINGS: FINDINGS AMONG THE EXISTING CONDITION IN THE AREA

FLOOD HAZARD MAP

Parts of Metro Manila experienced flash floods, especially in Quiapo, with moderate flood susceptibility. It is no wonder why these areas are prone to flooding due to canals clogged by garbage and the failure of service of flood control pumping stations. Proper drainage systems are important, as is always considering proper garbage disposal. For lack of installing water diversion and water storage areas, to add LGUs should separate drain systems from public sewers so that only rainwater can be sent to the river.

VULNERABLE AREAS POLLUTION HAZARDS

Quipao has some old establishments that are not functioning at all, which might cause a sudden collapse, leading to accidents and injuries. In terms of security, Quiapo is at risk in terms of security and safety due to overcrowding, informal settlers, unemployment of users and poverty. This will lead them to commit hideous crimes LGU should provide security cameras along the streets and police always need to be on duty monitoring, especially on sidewalks. Furthermore, the housing improvement is imperial and also provides basic job services.

Typhoons and flooding frequently hit the city of Manila. As of 2020 the standing of air pollution during the pandemic, there was a reduction of 90% in volume of the vehicles traveling in and out of Quiapo. There was a good quality of air because of the small mass of vehicles. Due to the city's high level of development and weak natural ecosystems, flooding frequently occurs Areas in Quiapo are lack of green spaces that is why water system didn't function well to carry all the rainwater and it is because of improper waster disposal that blocks the drainage.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES

OVERCROWDING

STREET SYSTEM

Quiapo market has always been known for its street vendors. The variety of products range from fresh produce to handcrafts which showcase its culture. Overcrowding of these street vendors is one of the main issues in this area and it is also where most burglary occur. It diverts people away, which might cause these small businesses to lose profit and it also poses threat to local residents.

In a city, streets are the soul since this is where most of the activities occur and is where pedestrian and vehicle pass through. It connects one place to another so it is necessary that a street has an organized system. Density of buildings on the area is high, therefore, some establishments do not have their own parking space. The streets and sidewalks are becoming the parking space for the vehicles. It causes traffic on the road and hinders pedestrian from travelling smoothly since vehicles are blocking the pathways.

Abundance of commercial and residential establishments resulted in improper zoning in the area

There are no recreational and green areas present Green areas in a city help local residents come together and also makes the air more breathable.

GREEN AREAS

SUMMARY OF ISSUES

FLOOD CONTROL PUMPING STATION

BUSINESS VENTURES

Barangay 306 and 384 are surrounded by a river, which makes the area prone to flooding especially during the rainy season. Sometimes, water reaches waist-deep. It is dangerous to the health of residents and it also poses threat to their properties. There are flood control pumping station installed in some areas of Quiapo, Manila. This heps mitigate flood and it is a great opportunity to be able to utilize this to prevent flooding in the area.

Since Quiapo is an area known to the people, there are great opportunities for business venturers to go here.

People choose to go here because many establishments are close to each other which makes it more accessible.

There are already many business establishments in the area, however, these areas are highly congested and there is almost no space anymore for new ones. With good urban design, this could be solved through zoning and arrangement of the streets.
