METRO DAVAO URBAN MASTER PLAN

Courtesy: @palafoxofficial · Architectural Designer
The Metro Davao Urban Master Plan
The Metro Davao Urban Master Plan was conceived in partnership with the Mindanao Development Authority and the local government units of Metro Davao: Davao City, Panabo City, Carmen, Tagum City, Maco, Digos City, Santa Cruz, and the Island Garden City of Samal. One of the major objectives of the project was to establish linkages between the eight LGUs and to determine how each one's strengths can complement each other to create a more livable and resilient region.
The first in our series of Metro Davao posts, the Roxas Sky Garden features a proposed elevated walkway and the re-envisioned Freedom Park in the center of Roxas Avenue. The elevated walkway is a solution to Mayor Sara Duterte's challenge to help them decongest the area while preserving the existing Roxas Night Market. Relocating the vendors to the elevated walkway will enable them to work and sell their products all day, and it gives people more space to enjoy shopping and dining. The designs were inspired by the cultural patterns from the 11 indigenous tribes of Davao City.
The Roxas Sky Garden promotes connectivity between universities and the residential and commercial areas in the center of Davao City. The area is envisioned to improve quality of life by providing vibrant and safe urban spaces and by showcasing local heritage and culture.

nakaka silaw yung ganda ng plans nila.., i wish this plans come true soon as possible❤️❤️❤️

[@GaryHField]

It’s heartwarming to see the bright star of Mindanao rising... This economic center would greatly transform the economy of Mindanao. It’s nice to see that no one is being left behind. I hope Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato, General Santos and Zamboanga Cities would also be as prosperous as this spectacular city. Greetings po, from Cavite. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If we vote wisely in 2022 Elections, we will see this amazing masterplan of Metro Davao.

[@norbertawhitby1254]

pag ganyan na kaganda ang Davao abah mas maraming tourist pupunta tsaka number one sila sa Prutas all season, at malalapad kalsada nila, marami Kami family nasa Tagum Davao, Leyte to Davao,tsaka mas presko hangin duon, hindi polluted, sana sana 🙏🙏🙏 nga gawin na nila ito,

[@brynhard]

Wow! Looking forward to every City, Municipality and Provinces progress. One way of making this true is voting wisely.

Highest respects to Arch. Felino Palafox Jr. (and his associates) for his magnificent vision and trust in Davao leadership. Palafox is one of the top 200 architectural firms by a London-based BD World Architecture Magazine - the one and only firm from Southeast Asia to make it to the list. Now that's some serious planning in the making, no longer just a hazy dream. Go Davao!

[@llewelyncarpio4148]

Yup! the master plan was turned over to Mayor Baste Duterte

[@JamesAlon-no8gt]

With a leader in the likes of Digong this dream can become a reality maybe in 10 to 20 yrs. What we need is a strong willed visionary leader like Digong who make things work and get them done!

[@rodeliebelarmino1461]

Let's all claim this will come true and there's no need for the Filipinos to go abroad for work...

[@iknowyoucanhearme6483]

It will take a long time for us to see all of these rise but i hope in the future, the bridge with a light-rail underneath plus the pedestrian would push through. I know it will cost a lot but it would be a great landmark, a gamechanger in the south.

Sana mangyari to sa davao. Para hnd na kelangan pang mag Manila. Puro kasi sila rally don eh. Nakakastress. Sana maipasa na ang anti terrorist bill, para sa Mindanao.

[@oscarcyber3308]

First of all, Rally doesn't affect the daily life here in Manila, you wouldn't see rallies happening everywhere, only in the university belt, that's why if you see most yt vloggers rally doesn't happen, it's because they do it on specific locations Second fo all, read the Anti Terrorism Law again :). I don't think it's targeting terrorist but annoying activists, it's true we need a anti terror law, but it has to be revised I recommend you to check both sides of the situation , :) Stay safe love from MNL

This is world class! Who will implement this? Habor City was not materialized. Unless a great leader will use his/her political will, this will just remain a plan.

[@edgarp2152]

Inday Sara blocked the Harbor City project, which was already signed by his father before he became President. That's why I doubt if this plan will push through. This needs strong political will to implement such a world class master plan.

[@austintylereverhard1214]

This is true. We need a politician with a strong political will and is forward thinking. Di yong puro pang stone age ang mindset.

Developing a Metro Davao as big as equivalent to almost 6 metro Manilas is a gargantuan task. Something that is not that easy to achieve,. However, with oozing optimism, confidence and consistency of its leadership and citizenry in sticking to the plan, there is really nothing impossible under the sun. Maybe not in one's lifetime but InshaAllah in the next generation to come where all our natural resources like Oil/Gas and deuterium are fully developed and our tourism industry is already at all time high.

I agree because transforminf the Davao region into a resilient, livable, and sustainable metropolitan area is the goal of the ambitious and forward-thinking Metro Davao Urban Master Plan. The plan aims to tackle urbanization's problems while fostering economic development and environmental sustainability, encompassing a far greater area than Metro Manila. All things considered, the Metro Davao Urban Master Plan is a comprehensive and strategic vision for the future of the area, with the goal of building a resilient and dynamic metropolis that can act as a role model for sustainable urban growth in the Philippines and other countries.
