PLANNING CONCEPT

The planning concept of this development is Geddian trio Concept by Patrick Geddes. Sir Patrick Geddes believed in the concept of area and valued human life above all else. His values centered on stressing human life and energy rather than their aesthetic appeal. Drawing inspiration from sociologist Frédéric Le Play’s triad Lieu, Travail, Famille, geddes translated them as “Work, Place, Folk” and developed an urban planning philosophy. The geddian trio concept was created by giving priority to local surveys and human-centric designs, based on a resident’s workstyle, culture, heritage, beliefs, the region’s topography, climatic variations, networks, and everything else.

The picture will serve as a guide for the placement of the development proposal. Economic growth is emphasized through merging agricultural and institutional development. Agriculture is the primary source of income in Santa Maria Bulacan, and the majority of the municipality’s land area is comprised of greenery and agricultural land. This will assist the community and municipality in increasing their income. Institutional development such as research facilities, hospitals, and cultural centers will also be considered. From the concept “Work, Place, Folk,” agricultural and institutional work will be viewed as work, individuals who work to expand the economy will be viewed as folk, and urban beautification will be viewed as place for a sustainable lifestyle.
