development plan or urban design on
the given UDDA incorporating and
addressing the urban design
background for a new township
development.
• To synthesize the scenarios in the
UDDA and create/develop a UD
concept that would be appropriate to
the program being required in the
UDDA.
• To develop, create, and produce
appropriate presentation drawings
reflective of the urban design concept
as laid out in the conceptual township
master plan.

attraction of the township (Dacong
river), developed into a grand canal
incorporating a Venice-type style
composed of linear parks and canal
pods.
• Mangrove park development
showcase the foreshore habitats

• FOCUS ON STABILITY, PROTECTION, QUALITY OF
CONSERVED LAND.

BIODIVERSITY – Access to nature and green space,

ecosystem diversity.

TOWNSCAPE – As one of the goals in designing the

concept of the town master plan is preservation and
respect for the organic growth that can be seen
through mangrove parks and Venice canal river
parks as the design promotes familiarity and
aesthetics offered by visual and cultural richness of
the town.

PLANNING
• CBD: NON-RESIDENTIAL, MORE OF OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL USE,
INCLUDES INSTITUTIONS AND PUBLIC SPACES.
• ZONE FOR BETTER RESIDENCES: HOUSING PROJECTS FOR MIDDLE
CLASS
• VARIOUS SECTORS EMANATING FROM THE CBD BY A RADIAL TRANSPORT
LINE.

MODELS
• GROWTH IS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY TRANSPORT SYSTEM. EXPANSION
HAPPENS ALONG ROADS, RIVERS, AND TRAIN ROUTES.
• MAN MUST ALWAYS HAVE CONTACT WITH NATURE
• INTEGRATION OF PLAYGROUND, NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, AND OTHER
NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE. ARTERIAL STREETS ARE AT BOUNDARY

LINKAGE THEORY - The linkage
theory is considered and integrated in
designing the circulation of the town,
connecting, and linking one element to
another from its macro to micro units
such as pedestrian walk, linear open
spaces, streets, pattern of movement
of people and goods. Establishing the
hierarchy of spaces.
