Architect palafox presents urban master plan for the philippines

[kagalingan]

These are the top 10 cities in the world. Green cities, smart ciites, liveable cities, sustaineable cities and resilient cities.

Open spaces are lungs of the city.

Hongkong china - one of the longest lifespan in the world righ now. 70% open space. If we use residential density of hongkong all the world 7billion population we can all fit in the state of texas.

Singapore - they recycle all the water from their flush toilets and so on and make it drinking water afterwards. So its really water resource managment.

Here in the Philippines we have so much water during the rainy season and no water during the dry season.

Seoul South Korea - The mayor of seoul, now the president of south korea. There use to be a skyway above this canal and a road above this canal. They removed the skyway, remove the road and make it one of the most visited places now in seoul korea to demonstrate that environment is very very important and sustaineability and people places.

Vancouver Canada - One of the best planned cities in the world and they have a lots of open spaces and a green city.

Portant Oregon - They had i think 250 miles of bike lane and again sustaineable and liveable.

Barcelona Spain - One of the best planned city in the world. Very walkable.

We have been using the wrong urban models in our country

The urban model in our country after it became a philippine republic had always been car oriented los angeles. I met the 3mayor of los angeles and they told the rest of the world that los angeles is 73 year old mistake in planning. So they been sending their urban planners to singapore, curritiba brazil, london paris new york and hongkong and tokyo to unlearn their mistake.

In April 1977, our manila international airport was probably 100 years ahead of dubai. If you go to dubair airport now our airport is probably 200 years behind dubai and infranstucture of metro manila.

I cannot understand why our public policy is biased for the automibile. Only 2% of filipinos owned cars.Once you leave your car you are a pedastrians

Even traffic signal lights in makati 10 seconds for the pedestrians and 99 seconds for the automobiles.

It seems our priorities are not the right thing

bottomline.

a. all of the businesses are concentrated in metropolitan areas specially in the NCR area. with these, ports and airports are also in NCR to decongest.

b. lack of an efficient and comfortable public transportation. i have lived in HK, Shanghai and in Tokyo and it is really great to take the public transportation. everything should be interconnected.

c. it would be very easy to get cars here compared to Singapore, HK, Tokyo therefore adding up to the congestion.

d. Schools, condominiums, businesses, malls are concentrated in the NCR area. it is because of item a.
e. timing of work schedules and school schedules. yesterday, walang pasok mga bata, one hour lang ang travel time ko from LP to Makati and back. Ngayon may pasok na, balik dalawang oras na naman ako. Why not encourage telecommuting here? government can give incentives to businesses implementing as such. imagine spending 5-6 hours in commute? pagod ka na pagdating sa office, lessening productivity. and pag field work ka like sales, sapul ang client calls mo, resulting in lower revenues and closed sales. but imagine if backend employees can do telecommute. sales na lang ang nasa field. mas efficient. Siguro dahil di din maganda ang internet infrastructure and communications natin.

e. Sta. Rosa Laguna, used to be not that crowded. ngayon naguumpisa na. dahil ganun din. malls, schools and businesses, all concentrated in one location.

yes, these are mistakes. and bakit?

a. local government units look at revenues first from taxes.
b. corruption in the construction to upgrade and improve infrastructure
c. red tape
d. lack of political will.
e. limitations and restrictions based on laws.
f. lack of enforcement
g. lack of discipline

and in my personal opinion, it will get worse if we do not something now.

eto pa lang nakikita ko.

Pipe dream?

If this president can make a 2nd runway at NAIA maybe things will start to turn around. As it stands he is also just another trapo. Not a good one at that.

Walandyo hindi lang pang architect si palafox. Alam din history.

The state of massachusetts they have an anti-snub zoning. Bawal ang isnabero. Bawal ang gated-community. Kaya ang state of massachussetts they dont have the social unrest of los angeles. Kasi sa los angeles parang makati, gated community. In massachussetts even the house of the kennedy indicated : anti-snub zoning.

After 9/11, they told us criminals are not scared of walls. Because behind that wall you can commit criminality and no witnesses. Criminals are more scared of eyes on the street. They are more scared of windows overlooking the public cause there a witnesses. When we planned marikina i shared that so in marikina there now an ordinance no solid walls above 1 meter and criminality went down. And also in san juan we did that planning also we discourage those but very difficult to convince people.

Walls walls- we got that laws of the indies of the spaniard. Intramuros for the illustrados and the principalia, the rich, powerful and connected. Extramuros = outside the walls, for the peasants, the indios, the sangleyes. So by design we are fragmented society. And daniel burham here 1905 he remove all the walls. When we become philippine republic we copied beverly hills, los angeles put more walls walls walls. Some gated-community now are open like bel-air 2 they open orbit street and san miguel village the f.zobel street during peak hours weekdays.

Palafox : So I have been telling people and some are not very happy when i said that Anybody who claims that they can solve the the traffic problem they may not know what are they talking about. They have to look at the land use and the density kasi yung ang traffic generators. Hindi lang yung supply side of roads and buses. The demand side tingnan din.

Reporter: Agree ka ba sa proposal ibalik ang number coding at gawin 7days. Or bawalan na yung pagbili ng kotse pag wala garahe.

Palafox : Parang inaspirin lang yan. Its a package dapat. Yung mga mayayaman sa atin icompare mo yung mayaman sa new york. singapore, hongkong, tokyo, london, paris nakatira sa apartment. Malalaking bahay nila sa suburbs. Tayo ang mga mayayaman nasa, strangulate the central business district. But the same people mga real estate nila abroad pag nasa downtown/central business district naka-apartment lang sila.
