Land Use Pattern
Multi-Nodal Urban Form
- re-directs development away
from the urban core or city center
toward identified urban growth
areas or nodes.
- approximates Lynch’s Galaxy
form, which is characterized by
clusters of development with each
cluster having its own
specialization. Galaxy form
- the major center provides
specialized facilities and services
to its nodes and acts as it external
linkage to other centers of the city
or municipality. The nodes
support the major center as its
captive market while providing
neighborhood facilities and
services to its area of influence.
Radial and
Land Use Pattern
Concentric Urban Form
- this form reflects an outward expansion
of urban development from the city
center/core induced by the construction of
new circumferential and radial roads.
- the form pattern matches the Core City
of Kevin Lynch has the unique
characteristic of concentrating
development into one continuous body
originating from the center or core. Core City
- aiming to maximize land use in the
Poblacion or city center to provide more
open space outside, this urban form
redirects future development in and around
the Poblacion/city center, extending to the
adjoining barangays or barrios. As a result,
the direction of growth enlarges the urban
core.
Concentric Development
Land Use Pattern
Grid Form
- this system is made up of rectangular blocks
defined by parallel and intersecting streets. The
simplicity of this layout provides accessibility of plots
and/or structures, but conflict or movement could
arise due to numerous intersections.
