THE IMAGE OF THE CITY BY KEVIN LYNCH

National Capital Region

Quezon City is the most populous city in the Philippines. It was AREA: 161. 1 SQ. KM.

founded on October 12, 1939, and was named for Manuel L. ELEVATION: 17 M
Quezon, the second president of the Philippines. The city was
POPULATION: 2.960 M (2020)
intended to be the national capital of the Philippines that would
replace Manila, as the latter was suffering from overcrowding,
lack of housing, poor sanitation, and traffic congestion.

The architecture of Quezon City varies greatly. It features wide

variety of architectural styles such as art deco, brutalist,
international modern, postmodern and the contemporary style.
The city also has numerous monuments and museums. When the
city was created in 1939, Art Deco was the prevailing
architectural style, moving forward from the colonial designs of
Bahay na bato by the Spanish, and the neoclassical style by the
Americans. The choice of designing buildings in contemporary
international style was intentional to show that the Philippines
was moving forward since it was anticipating independence in
1945.

According to the 1949 Master Plan for Quezon City, Congressional Avenue
was supposed to connect to the National Government Center at Constitution
Hills (present-day Batasan Hills), which would house government offices
including the Congress, where its name is apparently derived from. However,
this plan was partially materialized as the road did not reach that area.
In the early 2010s, the avenue was envisioned to be extended into Luzon
Avenue to complement the completion of the Circumferential Road 5 which
includes the widening of the C.P. Garcia (through U.P. Campus) and Luzon
Avenues, the Extension of Congressional Avenue, and the construction of the
Luzon Avenue Flyover, which aims to divert C-5 and traffic from the narrow
Tandang Sora Avenue in going to the Project areas and Mindanao Avenue
towards the C-5 segment of North Luzon Expressway.
