The Philippine Journal of Planning is published in October and April by the School of Urban and Regional Planning, University of the Philippines. The fortified city of Manila was the governmental, ecclesiastical, military, cultural, social and economic nerve center of the Spanish colonial government in the archipelago for the next three centuries. In the upper areas north of the Pasig River were the religious retreats of San Francisco del Monte and San Juan del Monte.
Land transport to the interior further strengthened Manila's prominence as the leading economic center of the country. Improved street system for safe and direct communication to and from every part of the city.
DISTRICTS I Tondo
The spatial reorganization of the metropolitan area thus explains the spatial expansion of the metropolitan area. Ninety of the country's 100 companies were located here, 56 of which were located in the city of Manila. All major newspapers, most radio stations and all commercial television stations were also located in the metropolis (Laquian 1972).
As early as the 1960s, urbanization spread to six outer fringe towns in the newly metropolitan areas, such as Malabon, Navotas, Marikina, Pasig, Pateros, and Las Pilias, all in the province of Rizal (Laquian 1972). At least 75 percent of the workforce in a city or municipality must be in non-agricultural occupations.

However, the 50-kilometer radius ban on industries in the 1970s slowed the growth of Manila's industrial area. This is done through the spatial integration of former non-metropolitan areas located on the outskirts of the metropolitan region. Economic growth and the shift in the structure of the economy (from agricultural to industrial-based) did not accompany the urbanization process.
Using these approaches, there are several economic, social and political factors that cause these changes in the spatial structure of the metropolis. Medium-sized and low-cost housing has boomed in the CALABARZON region and in other cities of the country. These technologies require a lower skill level and enable the spatial separation of the stages in the production process.
The growth of the middle class gave rise to suburban communities on the outskirts of the metropolis.
How can urban and regional planners deal with the consequences of the continued expansion and growth of the metropolitan region and the urbanization of its fringes. How should they plan for the needs of the peripheral areas that are included by the metropolis. Such questions must be addressed by urban planners who must be proactive in this situation in order to alleviate the deterioration of living conditions and the environment in the metropolis, i.e. air and water pollution, overcrowding, urban blight, congestion traffic, insufficient water. supply and unemployment.
Planners must strive to prevent Metro Manila from deteriorating into a socially fragmented city, a city divided by social status and occupations and characterized by an increasingly alienated and marginalized state of society. Finally, planning for Manila's inner city needs a re-engineering of the old central city, without the pitfalls of traditional approaches to urban redevelopment, such as planning for a convention center.

The Case of Makati City
This predicts a slowing of the growth rate towards a certain limit for the population level. The projected decline in the NCR's share of total national population displacement was considered to account for inter-regional migration. The intercept of 1.87 is an estimate of the asymptotic level for the total percent displacement.
The delicate balance between supply and demand could be related to the general state of the economy as measured by GDP. This balance between supply and demand could be related to the general state of the economy as measured by GDP. A distributed lag analysis of the relationship between new residential construction in the Philippines in thousand square feet (NRCt) and the country's gross national product (GNP) in million pesos (at constant 1985 prices), using time series data from 1981 to 1995 yields the following model: 5.
To determine the share of the high-end sector to the required new residential construction, a random sample of construction permit applications in Makati City was conducted. However, it is important to note that the analyzes were conducted before the onset of the Asian currency crisis. This study was limited to determining the additional space required by consumers for shopping purposes.
This is about 60% of the existing 1.4 million square feet of retail space at NKR, located in Makati. Using different percentages in the type of residential building or the share of the high-end sector in new housing construction activity (based on more recent data) can provide a more diverse range of estimates for different demands. decision maker. Moreover, the study focused mainly on the macroeconomic component of the demand for urban space.
These are just some of the factors that affect the demand and supply of land for urban purposes. Further studies focusing on these factors may provide a more complete analysis of the effective demand for urban space.
THE IMPACTS OF TRANSPORTATION ON URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE
Of the total 2 million motor vehicles in the entire country, a disproportionately large number (42 percent total) ply the streets of Metro Manila. Due to reduced train availability, congestion is common, especially during peak times of the day. The wear and tear or the depreciation costs on the use of motor vehicles is also resource utilization of the worst kind because nothing is produced in an economic sense.
Unfortunately, many parts of Metro Manila are still not planned with the special needs of people with disabilities in mind. Therefore, women's dependence on public transport or private non-motorised transport may further limit the range of activities that can be carried out during the day. Many people in Metro Manila refuse to use public transportation mainly because of the poor quality of services.
Streets known to be congested at certain times of the day are also avoided. Preservation of the visual appeal of the surroundings must be an important consideration when planning and designing road construction. This may backfire on the government when the time to transfer the management of the MRT comes.
All of the above measures have been implemented in whole or in part at some point in the past. For example, the University of the Philippines Oiliman Campus does not hold classes on Wednesdays. An example of the restriction on vehicle use is the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program.
CONCLUSION
Unpublished paper in The Human Face of the Urban Environment: Second Annual World Bank Conference on Sustainable Urban Development. These rapid increases in secondary city size reflected the decline of Metro Manila's dominance. A closer observation showed that the share in the total production of non-agricultural activities, especially processing and tertiary services, is increasing.
This study was undertaken to find out whether growth in an urban economy was influenced by growth in the urban population. The related literature below can provide an understanding of the relationship between city size and economic activities. Per capita income is also strongly correlated with population potential, which is a mathematical measure of the accessibility available to residents of the city to the rest of the country.
In general, all indicators such as education, skill levels and the proportion of the population above the poverty level increase with urban size (Alonzo 1970). Hansen (1975), citing Alonso and Schnore, showed that per capita income rises as the size of the city increases. The larger the population, the greater the tendency of the local economy to be more diverse.
If population growth is a result of the increase in the productive areas of a society, then population growth can be considered a somewhat more reliable indicator of growth. Or it may reflect an increase in productivity in the service sector, such as financial districts and money centers. City size is therefore a function of the probability of successful diffusion of innovations to a particular city.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The results support the previous regression of city size and the number of secondary and tertiary institutions. City size was the independent variable, while the number of establishments, average employment size for secondary and tertiary establishments, and the ratio of tertiary establishment to employment were the dependent variables. The results of the quadratic, linear, and double log regressions for city size and number of businesses for 1990 and 1995 are summarized in Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The results indicate that there is no relationship between city size and the ratio of tertiary establishments to employment. This can be attributed to the previous findings that the number of secondary and tertiary establishments in cities increases as the size of the city increases. Based on most statistical results of quadratic, linear and double log regressions, city size influences the number of secondary and tertiary settlements.
Quadratic, linear and double log regressions for city size and average employment size per secondary and tertiary institution showed weak results. City size is not a significant factor affecting average employment per secondary and tertiary institution. A study on city size and patterns of diversification or variation of economic activities between cities in the country.
