ANSWER:
QUEZON CITY
THIS IS THE the current land use and zoning ordinance of Quezon City from the Comprehensive land
use plan and Quezon City Zoning ordinance 2016 latest version.
Quezon City is a highly urbanized city and the most populous city in the Philippines. It was founded by
and named after Manuel L. Quezon, the 2nd President of the Philippines, to replace Manila as the national
capital. The city was proclaimed as such in 1948, though a significant number of government buildings
remained in Manila. Quezon City held status as the official capital until 1976 when a presidential decree
was issued to reinstate and designate Manila as the capital and Metro Manila as the seat of government .
Parsons came over in the summer of 1939 and helped select the Diliman (Tuason) estate as the site for the
new city. Unfortunately he passed away later that year. His partner Harry Frost took over. Frost
collaborated with Juan Arellano, engineer AD Williams and landscape architect/planner Louis Croft to
craft a grand master plan for the new capital — Quezon City.
The plan was approved by the Philippine authorities in 1941. The core of the new city was to be a 400-
hectare central green, about the size of New York’s Central Park, and defined by North, South (Timog),
East and West Avenues. On one corner of the proposed Diliman Quadrangle was delineated a 25-hectare
elliptical site. This was to contain a large capitol building to house the Philippine Legislature and
ancillary structures for the offices of representatives.
the Quezon City supported the idea of “ NEW CITY” concept by Architect William E . Parson as a hired
urban planner . The Quezon City Conceptualize as New City for having a Central Green area and
Define by North, South,East and West avenues to have elliptical roads and rotonda for boundaries. The
first layer of the Central Green is surrounded by government structures and in the other side is hospitals,
housing settlement, Commercial structures and institutional facilities.The transportation network is in
centralize planning This concept characterized the notion of making cities more beautiful, social value,
and civic terms ,This concept is somewhat has similarities to Sector model and multiple nuclei model
whom suggested functional zonation occurred around multiple centers, or nodes.
WE CAN DEVELOPED
QUEZON CITY BY SHARING PUBLIC SPACES,Streets, sidewalks, parks—all of these are public spaces.
Cars dominate the space all too often, but since everyone has a right to it, how do we improve equity?
We can use our private cars less, so we don’t usurp someone else’s space. Try one or two less trips with
your car, and take the public transport more.
Our terminals may not be so well-connected, but this is the best way to reduce our number of vehicles.
Move towards mass transit, and away from inefficient space usage. Let’s avoid parking on sidewalks,
because these spaces are for pedestrians. Respect “slow-down” and other traffic signs that exist to make
spaces safer.
Make every public space safe and friendly enough for all of us—women, children, disabled people—by
being more open, more visible, and more inclusive.
BY Encourage metropolitan art, fuel creativity
Putting art and visuals in a city boosts its overall aesthetics, and contributes to attraction and meaning of a
place. Art has helped revitalize some of the most dangerous cities in the world.
Visuals create vibrancy in a place, and usually make citizens feel safer. It also helps put value into an
experience when we are stuck in line, waiting for a ride home.
City art can be present in a variety of ways: creation of murals on bland walls, graffiti, painted walls on
train stations, decorated façades, and placement of statues and monuments.
BY Add greens, clean blues, and better hues
A simple way to improve the city is to green its surroundings. As the biophilia hypothesis suggests, we
tend to connect with the natural environment and other forms of life.
More natural elements, such as plants and clean waterways, have benefits, such as less heat, and more
attractive surroundings.
While many of us think that it’s difficult to do, it is possible to integrate green cover with the built-up
environment. Urban gardens, biowalls, pocket parks, or simple potted plants or patches of grass help the
urban ecosystem.
We can also start with cleaning water bodies to transform their dumpsite state into healthy river systems
and bays.
BY IMPROVING your plaza, ask for parks
For those of us who still get to treasure a plaza or park, put benches, tables, sports equipment you’re
willing to share, or get into food stalls, play music, plant trees, hold zumba classes—anything to draw
people into that space and encourage conversation.
Let’s encourage new types of zones, such as family zones and silver zones.
And let’s face it—how satisfied are we with the parks that we have, and the parks we have lost? So many
Filipinos do not even know the feeling of using a park anymore, nowadays, because we all get attracted to
the malls and commercial areas.
Walk more, bike more

You will be surprised at how little you know about your own environment if you keep driving a car or
staying inside your home. To know one’s roads and streets takes dedication. One can learn a lot from a
personal experience of using a city’s pathways.
If you were asked to sketch your city, would you know where to draw your major roads, your barangays,
and your landmarks from memory? We should walk more, and bike more, to know our cities. Benefits
include the reduction of emissions, addressing sedentary lifestyles, more friends, and
sleeping better at night.
