the preferred spatial development strategy

Chapter 5: THE PREFERRED SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 5- 1

Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance 2010-2020

Chapter 5

THE PREFERRED SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 5.1 Overview

As earlier discussed in the previous chapters, the preferred spatial

development strategy shall provide the framework for the physical and socio-

economic development of Angeles City. Among the other alternative urban

forms that were considered and studied, the radial and circumferential urban

form was unanimously chosen by the stakeholders as the guiding physical

framework for Angeles City, as schematically shown in Figure 5-1.

At full implementation, the radial and circumferential urban from is

expected to decongest the urban core by dispersing urban development and

activities in the peripheries or growth nodes. With the construction of new

and rehabilitation of existing radial and circumferential road networks in the

city, circulation and access is anticipated to be improved.



The city’s relatively affluent population and strong tax base are among

its strong points. These may have been among the major reasons why SM

Ayala and Robinson malls, Nepo and Jenra malls altogether located in

Angeles City. Obviously, at least for the three (3) big players, their target

market is not Angeles City alone but the entire Central Luzon, or even the

neighboring Northern Luzon regions. The city’s products should find their

way in these malls so that local producers can take advantage of the regional

market created by these mall players.

The city can still grow and raise some of its food requirements. Full

urbanization does not happen overnight. In the interim, it must strive to

preserve its remaining agricultural lands. A food and high value crop

production area must be set aside.

Its forest cover in Sapangbato in the west-most part of the city must

be fully preserved and vegetated in order to ensure Angeles City’s potable

water supply.

As a regional urban center that also doubles as an interregional

transportation hub, Angeles City must exert every effort to improve the levels

of service of its road networks providing interregional access.

Strategically located at the heart of Central Luzon and at the center of

the Metropolitan area, Angeles City is in the best position to become a global

city once the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) becomes fully

operational. In fact, the growing number of foreigners (e.g. Koreans,

Chinese, Bangladeshi) staying in the city to work, study, or establish business

is already an indication that Angeles City is fast becoming a global city.

Altogether, these positive developments may be fully realized if the

chosen spatial/development strategy for Angeles City is properly

implemented.

5.2 The Radial and Circumferential Spatial

Development Strategy

Shown in Figure 5-2 is the schematic diagram detailing the growth

nodes and development corridors in consonance with the chosen spatial

strategy. About nine (9) development corridors and development nodes were

identified with the aim of realizing the adopted spatial strategy.

5.3.1 Central Business District Growth Center

This growth center has been the most dominant and important area in

Angeles City probably since its founding date, to the time of the Americans in

Clark Airbase, and up to the present day. Its function is not only as the

poblacion of Culiat but an important urban center of Pampanga, and the rest

of Central Luzon.

As shown in Figure 5-4, the CBD growth center consists of 12

barangays along the Mac Arthur Highway, Sto. Entiero Street, Sto. Rosario

Street, Rizal Street, and Henson/J. Gonzales Boulevard. The primacy of the

area shall be maintained focusing on its competitive advantages, which are

as follows:

a) Center for Education and Higher Learning

b) Financial Center (Banking)

c) Commercial and Trading Center

d) Service Center

e) Heritage and Tourist Destination

f) Residential Center

g) Model for Urban Renewal

h) Regional Transportation Hub



Since most if not all types of urban services are provided by the CBD

growth area, it must be accordingly prepared to receive all the people that

will transact businesses in its premises. The following short and long term

interventions must be undertaken:

a. Road Improvement and Traffic Management – The roads bounding

the CBD growth area are presently providing low levels of service. In

order to address this concern, the following measures must be

implemented:

i) Road right-of-ways should be recovered from encroaching property

owners;

ii) Sidewalks should also be secured from all types of vendors and the

likes so that people will be encouraged to walk the CBD streets

instead of bringing their cars that further aggravate traffic

congestion;

iii) Improve the existing rotondas to ensure free flow traffic;

Figure 5-4. The CBD Growth Center



iv) Since the CBD has a well developed road network system, alternate

routes should be fully opened to traffic to help decongest the major

thoroughfares;

v) The number of secondary roads intersecting the major thorough

fares within the CBD must be decreased, and to allow only T-

intersections; and,

vi) All of these, including a computer-aided comprehensive traffic

routing and management project must be implemented by the city

to improve the traffic movement in this growth center.

b. Make the CBD Pedestrian Friendly – A covered passageway or an

arcade is a must in all major streets in the CBD to encourage people to

walk instead of taking their cars. Walking is good for the heart while less

car emission is helpful for the environment. New constructions must be

provided with arcades while existing covered passageways must be

cleared from obstructions. The city government may also construct

covered passageways in areas without arcades.

5.3.2 Sto. Domingo Growth Corridor

Located in the south and south-eastern part of the city near the

borders with the City of San Fernando and the Municipality of Bacolor, this

growth center is composed of barangay Sto. Domingo, San Jose, Pulung

Bulu, and Sto. Cristo (Figure 5-5). It is a predominantly residential area with

commercial and mix use activities along the Mac Arthur Highway and

Angeles-Porac Road.



The built-up of this growth center has long been extended to the

neighbouring town and city such as Barangay Calibutbut of Bacolor, and

Barangays Telabastagan, Pulung Bulu, and Malino of the City of San

Fernando. The Sto. Domingo growth center is actually a small “conurbation”

between the southern barangays of Angeles City and northern barangays of

the neighbouring City of San Fernando, and the Municipality of Bacolor. It is

not uncommon to find people who live in the same residential subdivision but

with different locality or city in their addresses.

Because the development in this area was largely influenced by the

access provided by the Mac Arthur Highway, its catchment area outside

Angeles City extends up to about eight (8) kilometres starting from Sto.

Domingo PUJ terminal going to the City of San Fernando. Aside from

MacArthur Highway, the other road servicing the neighbouring barangays of

the City of San Fernando is the Pulungbulu road. The more dominant central

urban functions of this growth corridor are as follows:

e) Educational Facility (Chevalier School)

f) Medical Facility

g) Religious/Institution

h) Transport Terminal

i) Commercial and Mix Use Strip

j) Residential Complex

These land uses are expected to become intense within the short and

medium terms. As such, access and circulation in this area must be

enhanced by implementing the following measures:

To Enhance Access and Circulation within the Sto. Domingo Local Transport and Commercial Mix Use Area

a. MacArthur highway widening, rehabilitation and clean-up from

obstruction from as trees, commercial and residential structures

starting from Sto. Domingo-City of San Fernando boundary to

MacArthur Highway and Angeles-Magalang Road junction;

b. Establishment of a pedestrian overpass between Chevalier School and

L&S Subdivision;



To facilitate traffic coming from the North, and Northwestern Barangays of the City of San Fernando

c. Establishment of rotonda in Jesus St. and MacArthur Highway junction;

d. Widening and rehabilitation of Jesus St.;

e. Construction of the new East Circumferential road to connect to Jesus

St.;

To improve the level of service of MacArthur Highway

f. Upgrade Pulungbulu bridge from two lanes to four lanes;

g. Upgrade the existing rotonda in the junction of MacArthur Highway and

Angeles-Magalang road; and,

To help decongest the CBD

h. Open a local transportation (PUJ) franchise from Sto. Domingo to

Marisol (currently absent).

5.3.3 Pandan Growth Center

This growth center (Figure 5-6) is located in the eastern part of

Angeles City near its boundary with Mexico, Pampanga. Barangay Mining,

Pampang, Tabun, and Capaya comprise this growth node. Huge residential

subdivision complex are found in the area such as the Metrogate subdivision,

St. Ignatius subdivision, and Angeles Citicenter subdivision. The main access

is primarily provided by the Angeles-Magalang road, and in part by Magalang

Avenue. Roads collecting traffic from the different parts of the growth center

to the main road include Dominic main road, Mining-Tabun road, Pandan-



Tabun road, and several other service roads that form T-intersection with

Angeles-Magalang road.

Pandan and Tabun are already heavily built except those areas along

Abacan river. Vacant lots within the existing built-up and vacant PUDs are

prevalent in Mining and Capaya. However, large tracts of agricultural lands

can still be found in this barangays along the Abacan river.

Presently, the level of service provided by the Angeles-Magalang road

is low especially during rush hours when people go to office or school in the

morning or when they come back home in the afternoon. The situation

further worsens especially during rainy season when some portions of the

main road are flooded due to drainage problem. Because of proximity to the

CBD area, and availability of lands for urban expansion, this growth center is

expected to expand within the short and medium term periods.

The following urban activities should be encouraged in the area.

a) Light and Medium Industries – Non-pollutive industries may still be

allowed in the fringes of this growth center along the city’s border with

Mexico where vast tracts of agricultural lands are still available.

b) Sub-urban and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Estates –

Residential and commercial mix used PUDs are ideal in this area.

c) Medium to High Rise Residential Estates – Condominiums, PUDs

can be encouraged to locate in this area.

d) Rest, Recreation, and Convention Area – The city government is

planning to develop a rest, recreation, and convention complex in

Barangay Mining within the short term. This investment is expected to

catalyze settlement to further develop in the area.

e) Institutional Zone – Schools, place of worship, and other institutional

facilities should also be encouraged in the area.

f) General Residential Zone – The area will also serve as a general

residential area with commercial and mix-use activities along major

roads.

g) Agriculture, Food, and High Value Crop Production Area – Full

urbanization does not happen overnight. Thus, the area’s existing

agricultural lands will be protected from irrational conversion, land

banking, and speculation, and the same will be devoted to food and

high value crop production until such time that their highest and best

uses are no longer agriculture.



In as much as access is already a major concern in this growth area,

its impacts will become more pronounced in the future unless mitigating

measures are implemented. To this end, the following must be given priority:

To Improve the Level of Service of Angeles-Magalang Road

a) Widen, rehabilitate and recover the road right-of-way (ROW) of

Angeles-Magalang Road (AMR) from encroachment,

b) Rehabilitate the drainage facilities of AMR,

c) Rationalize traffic flow and dispatch traffic enforcers in critical

intersections of AMR such as in Dominic-Magnolia Junction Magalang

Avenue Y-intersection, and Pandan-Tabun Road T-intersection,

d) Strictly enforce the easement, setback, and parking lot requirements of

commercial mix use establishments in AMR,

e) Make AMR pedestrian-friendly by requiring commercial establishments

provide arcades or covered walkways,

To Catalyze Development in the Eastern Hinterland

f) Open a new road to form part of the city’s Eastern Circumferential

Highway,

g) Implement the Pandan Growth Area section of the Abacan River

Highways and Linear Park Development Project,

To ensure the Food Security of the City

h) Sustain the production of food and high value crops in the remaining

agricultural lands of the growth center.



5.3.4 Pulung Maragul Growth Area

When the City decided to move the city hall from the CBD to its

present location in Pulung Maragul a couple of years ago, it sent a strong

signal that it was a serious in decongesting the city center and dispersing

urban activities in the urban fringes. The idea is for the city government

center to act as a growth pole that will attract (magnet) urban development

to its vicinities, hence the Pulung Maragul growth center (Figure 5-7).

This strategy worked perfectly well. Aside from the government

center, sub-urban and PUD emerged in Pulung Cacutud, including an

industrial park under EPZA. Lately, the Ayala Lands decided to build a large

mall beside the government center and is expected to be completed and

ready for operation during the last quarter of 2009.

The Pulung Maragul Growth Center consists of Pulung Maragul, Pulung

Cacutud, Sapa Liputad, and Cutud. Its competitive advantages are on the

following functions and uses:

a) Government Center

b) Shopping and Recreation Center

c) Light and Medium Industries

d) Sub-urban and PUD Estates

e) Medium to High Rise Residential Area

f) General Residential and Commercial/Mix Use

g) Institutional Zone

h) Agriculture, Food, and HVC Production Area



At the moment, transportation and access in the Pulung Maragul

growth center is adequately provided by the Don Gueco Avenue, Angeles-

Magalang Road, and the Angeles City interchange of the North Luzon

Expressway. These roads converge in a rotunda located in Pulung Maragul

just about 300 meters from Pandan bridge when heading north.

At present, the traffic going to and from Gueco Avenue and Angeles-

Magalang road is already at varying stages of congestion. The level of service

provided by these roads is expected to further diminish upon the operation of

the Ayala Mall. In the medium term, when existing PUDs are fully occupied,

severe traffic congestion will be inevitably experienced.

Considering that these concerns will have a significant impact on the

planned role and function of this growth center, the following measures and

interventions must be implemented:

Improve the Level of Service of the Gueco Avenue and the Pulong Maragul Rotonda

a. Rehabilitate and recover the RROW of Gueco Avenue from

encroachment;

b. Rehabilitate the drainage facilities of Gueco Avenue;

c. Strictly enforce the required easement, setback, and parking lot

requirements of commercial and mix use establishments in Gueco

Road;

d. Build a bigger rotonda in Pulung Maragul to increase capacity;

e. Make the road pedestrian friendly by requiring commercial and mix use

establishments provide arcades or covered walkways;

Further Enhance Access and Circulation

f) Interconnect Don Manuel St. with either or both Marlim Avenue and

S.R. Lim St.;

g) Open a new road along NLEx connecting from Angeles City

Government Center Access Road to Metro Clark and Villa Portobello

Homes;

h) Upgrade the Sapalibutad and Cutud barangay roads connecting to the

Angeles-Magalang- road;

i) Establish a local transportation terminal in the Marquee Mall;

Improve the Level of Service of Angeles-Magalang-Road

j) Widen and recover the RROW of Angeles-Magalang road in the Pulung

Maragul Growth Center; and,

k) Deploy traffic enforcers in critical intersections.



5.3.5 Balibago Growth Center

Among the other growth centers in Angeles City, perhaps only the

Balibago growth center can directly rival the poblacion/CBD in magnitude and

level of urban development and services it provides. Its commercial strips

along MacArthur Highway, Don Gueco Avenue, Fields Avenue, and Don Juico

Avenue are the biggest not only in Pampanga but in the region as well. This

area hosts Robinson’s Mall along MacArthur Highway near Abacan River and

SM City Clark located in the premises of the main gate of the Clark Freeport

Zone (CFZ). Various rest and recreation facilities such as the Marlim

Mansion, Angeles Beach Club Hotel, including the Casino Filipino, among

others, are also located in Balibago area. Several fine dining restaurants can

also be found such as the Rib Eye Restaurant and Shanghai Palace. Balibago

Growth Area is also the host to the biggest park in Angeles City- The

Bayanihan Park. And on the western part of Bayanihan Park is a local

transport terminal servicing the SM City Clark.

Figure 5-8. The Balibago Growth Center



In terms of population, it has the largest among the other growth

centers in Angeles City. Barangay Balibago alone has a population of 31,040

in 2007 which is equal to or bigger than 40 municipalities in Central Luzon on

the same year. The area is also heavily built by residential PUDs.

In view of the foregoing, the existing competitive advantages of the

area may have to be further enhanced. The following uses and functions

should be pushed, to wit:

a) Medium to High Rise Residential Area;

b) Medium to High Rise Commercial and Trading Area;

c) Shopping and Leisure Center;

d) Rest, Recreation, and Convention Center;

e) Sunrise Industries and BPO Center;

f) General Residential Area

g) Local Transportation Hub

As mentioned earlier, land use and access are the twin blades of the

scissors of land use management. Hence, the realization of the dominant

uses enumerated above will depend on a very efficient access and

transportation system. Below are the needed interventions for this growth

center:

Improve the LOC of the T-Intersections Along MacArthur Highway in

Bayanihan Park

a) Expand Roxas Highway Rotonda with MacArthur Highway;

b) Establish a road centreline barrier from the edge of the rotonda

going north and south enough to prohibit traffic from crossing the



MacArthur Highway via Fields Avenue, Gueco Avenue, Mitchell

Avenue, and 1st Street;

c) Implement a rationalized traffic management scheme for the

Bayanihan Park Transportation Terminal/SM/Fields Avenue/Mitchell

Highway;

Improve the LOC of the Major Roads of Balibago Growth Area

d) Pedestrianize MacArthur Highway, Fields Avenue, Don Juico

Avenue, and Don Gueco Avenue by providing these roads with

covered walkways or arcades;

e) Strictly enforce the easement, setback, and parking lot

requirements of commercial and mix use establishments in these

major roads;

Further Enhance Access and Circulation

f) Open to Public as an Alternate Route to MacArthur Highway

(eastside) the following:

1) Rizal Street

2) Rosario-Arayat Street

3) Bern Street

4) Pampanga Street

5) Cavite Street

6) Batangas Street

7) Doña Carren Street



g) Open to Public as an Alternate Route to MacArthur Highway

(Westside) the following:

1) 1st Street-M.A. Roxas-Don Juico Avenue-Fields Avenue-A.

Santos Road west flank; and,

2) Johnny Street, Henafel Street, San Jose Street and Looban

Street as west flank link to MacArthur.

Improve the Radial Road Network of the City

h) Interconnect Marlim Street to Pulung Maragul rotonda through the

City Temple United Methodist Church Access road; and,

i) Interconnect S. R. Lim Avenue to Pulung Maragul rotonda through

the City M. C. access road.

5.3.6 Pampang Growth Area

One of the focal points of these growth center is the Angeles City

Public Market a.k.a. Pampang Market. The idea is to further enhance the role

of this market complex as a sub-regional food trading center in the short

term and a major regional food exchange center in the medium term.

Angeles City’s food security can no longer be met locally. It should therefore

be secured from neighbouring areas. More often than not, food prices are

more affordable in “bagsakan” centers because of bulk transaction and direct

link between primary trader and consumer.

The Pampang growth center, as shown in Figure 5-9, has a better

access relative to other growth nodes in the city. The Fil-American Friendship

highway, Miranda Extension, Pampang Road and San Francisco St.



circumferential road readily provide the south to north and south to

northwest links. On the other hand, the Rizal Street Extension, Kalayaan

road, and the Arayat Boulevard-Araw Malansik road, the radial roads provide

the east-west lateral link.

The growth area’s road networks will be further enhanced once the

Abacan highways and linear park project is implemented in the future.

While the Pampang growth center hosts a variety of urban functions

such as high end and general residential areas, trading and commercial

establishments and institutional uses, among others, a sizeable amount of

agricultural lands still remain. These lands could still be devoted to food

production, particularly high value crops instead of being idled.

Based on its competitive advantages, this growth center is intended for

the following dominant uses:

a) Regional Food Exchange Terminal and Trading Center

b) Sub-urban and PUD estates

c) Medium to High Rise Residential Areas

d) General Residential Areas

e) Institutional Zone

f) High Value Crops Production Area

While the Pampang Growth Center is adequately provided with road

links, the level of service provided by such roads need improvement. This

positive development will catalyze the achievement of the land uses

enumerated above. The following improvement in access and circulation has

to be implemented, to wit:

Improve the LOC of its Major Access Links

a) Improve the road shoulder, drainage system of Rizal Extension;

b) Widen from two lanes to four lanes the Rizal Extension and Fil-Am

Friendship Highway;

c) Improve or rehabilitate the Araw-Malansik road from Abacan Bridge

Rotonda to Forest Park Homes;

Further Enhance Access

d) Implement the Abacan River Highways and Linear Park Project;

e) Improve the Rosal St. and Zeppeline St. access roads;

f) Construct a new bridge across Abacan River between Friendship

Bridges and E. Nepomuceno Bridge and connect it to the Miranda

Extension and Rosal Street; and,



Enhance the Complementation of Land Use and Access

g) Strictly enforce the easement, setback and parking lot requirements

of commercial establishments along the access system of Pandan

Growth Area.

5.3.7 Anunas Growth Corridor

This growth center (Figure 5-10) has the biggest concentration of lands

that can accommodate the urban expansion of the city within the medium

and short term periods.

External access in the Anunas Growth Corridor is provided by the Fil-

American Friendship road, Arayat Boulevard, Angeles-Porac Road, Don Juico

and the Roxas Avenue gate in Barangay Margot. Internal road links are

provided by the less development barangay roads of Margot, Anunas, and

Cuayan.

The west flank of the Fil-American Friendship road in this growth

center is being vigorously developed by the private sector into a sub-urban,

high-end residential PUD, and commercial-mix use. Low cost and economic

housing units are also growing in number. Based on its competitive

advantages, this growth area must be developed to cater to the following

major land uses:

a) Sub-urban and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Estates

b) Tourism Estates

c) Agriculture, Food and High Value Crops Production

d) Light and Medium Industries

e) General Residential Area



In order to achieve the development objectives in this growth area,

the following interventions must be implemented, to wit:

Provision of Access Road

a) Extend and pave the existing barangay roads of Margot, Anunas,

and Cuayan;

b) Construct new radial road links to Fil-American Friendship Highway;

c) Establish a new circumferential road west of the Fil-American

Friendship Highway;

d) Construct the Fil-American Highway-Arayat Boulevard Rotonda;

e) This early, recover the entire ROW of Fil-Am Friendship Highway;

g) Enforce the easement, setback and parking requirement of

establishment along Friendship road and other major roads in the

growth center.

5.3.8 Sapangbato Watershed Reserve

This growth center (Figure 5-11) consists only of one (1) barangay –

Sapangbato. It is located in the foothill of the Mabalacat and Porac

Mountains, with is about 12.46 kilometers from the caldera crater of Mt.

Pinatubo. While Sapangbato belongs to Angeles City, majority of its land

area is under the jurisdiction of the Bases Conversion and Development

Authority (BCDA) and the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) pursuant to

Section 15 of Republic Act No. 7227 a.k.a. The Bases Conversion and

Development Act of 1992.

Section 3(i) of the local government code of 1991, however, provides

that LGUs “shall share with the national government the responsibility in the

management and maintenance of ecological balance within their territorial

jurisdiction.”

Thus, Angeles City may have to enter into an agreement with

BCDA/CDA for the co-management of the Sapangbato Watershed Reserve.



Sapangbato is presently and predominantly covered with trees and

shrubs. Some portions are devoted to upland rice and crop production. It

also has sizeable settlement of Aetas. However, there is also a growing

settlement of lowlanders. Sapangbato forms part of the upper watershed

area of Abacan River which extends near the crater of Mt. Pinatubo.

Based on physical characteristics and resource endowment, the

Sapangbato growth center may be developed into the following:

a) Watershed area;

b) Ecotourism destination;

c) Surface water reservoir with multi-purpose dam component

for power generation and potable water; and,

d) Agri-Forestry.

The achievement of the desired uses of the Sapangbato area is hinged

on the following measures:

a) Upgrade the road network of Sapangbato;

b) Implement a community-based watershed rehabilitation and

maintenance program;

c) Implement a community-based eco-tourism program;

d) Identify the possible sites for the surface water reservoir and

protect it from settlement development;

e) Identify the possible sites of about 20 hectares for the Angeles

City engineered landfill and construct the same;

f) Implement an agri-forestry and livelihood projects for the Aetas.

5.3.9 Abacan River Special Development Corridor

Unlike the rest of the identified growth nodes and centers which have

distinct boundaries and compositions in terms of barangay coverage, the

participating barangays for this corridor come from the different growth

zones. The idea is not to complicate the spatial grouping but to focus on the

unifying role of the Abacan river special development corridor (Figure 5-12)

in integrating the north and south growth poles of Angeles City.

It must be noted that Abacan river practically halves Angeles City into

two (2) areas, the north and south. These poles grew separately but recent

developments necessitates their full integration. The seamless integration



would require the north half and south half of Angeles City to be physically

integrated. This can be done by developing Abacan river into a linear park, a

highway, and a commercial-mix use strip.

Its eroded banks will be recovered through reclamation (as applicable

and practical), while illegal encroachers will be relocated. In 1996 the DPWH

initiated a proposal to develop the Abacan river into a public park showcasing

the destructive impacts of Mt. Pinatubo eruption and the resiliency of the

Filipinos, the Capampangans in particular, in rising from the ruins of a

volcanic catastrophe. For one reason or another, the initiative was not

pushed through.

During the conduct of public consultation meeting for the updating of

the Angeles City Comprehensive Land Use and Development Plans (CLUP),

some of the following issues were identified:

Figure 5-12. The Abacan River Special Development Corridor



a) Limited supply of the urban lands within the city;

b) Worsening access especially during rush hours due increasing

congestion of existing circumferential and radial roads;

c) River bank erosion in Abacan river threatens properties along its

length; and,

d) North-south access is supposedly seamless due to the presence

of four bridges crossing Abacan river but the increasing

congestion of the city’s road networks has nullified this

advantage.

In view of such the development of the Abacan River Special

Development Corridor was deemed crucial and necessary in the medium and

long term development of the city.

The major components of this special development corridor are the

following:

a) Radial roads and bridges development;

b) Linear park establishment; and,

c) Reclamation of urban land for commercial and mix use

development.

It is expected that this initiative will enhance the city’s east-west

lateral link, augment the diminishing supply of urban land, and level off the

bipolar development caused by the Abacan river barrier.
