Strategy.
Acts in Synergy with other institutional proposals
Residential:
Compact cities philosophy require 200 housing units/ha density.
The given design proposes only half this density because it might
overextend the citiys
resources.
Office and Shopping and Lifestyle
Compact cities philosophy require mixed-use buildings in close
proximity to each
other and the residential areas. They must be
pedestrian and bike accessible. They
should not be spaced apart to
the point they encourage vehicle use.
Shopping mall of more than 40,000sqm or regional shopping mall is
justifiable through
market analysis and competition analysis. Nearest
competitions are Robinsons Otis
(1.45km away), SM Manila
(2.5km away), and SM Sta. Mesa (1.7km away)
Riverfront
5m setback requirement in urban settings as required by the Water
code of the
Philippines (PD1067)
Planned 20m setback for riverfront regeneration through landscaping
(linear parks) and
promenade
