A STREETSCAPE DESIGN OF AVENIDA
IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES
Avenida Rizal or more popularly referred to now as Rizal Avenue is one of Manila’s busiest districts. In the 1920’s through 1930’s, Rizal Avenue was the place to be for the city’s elite and socialites. Streets were lined with high-end shops, restaurants and movie theaters.
As the years went by, the area was victimized by urban renewal. The main culprit of the deterioration of the area was the LRT; the train was to ease traffic in Rizal Avenue and Taft Avenue south of the Pasig River but it also killed business along the route.
As many people visit the area, the discipline and orderliness become neglected. The users of Avenida Rizal need a way to a more habitable and greener environment because of the worsening congestion and pollution problems of the area.
