The APA was planned as an integrated community of a multi-zone sub-city with a twenty-five-year
master plan. It was established by the Ayala Corporation, which is one of the oldest Spanish business
houses in the Philippines. APA was basically raw land belonging to Ayala y Roxas family when the project
started. Although the area contained Nielson Airport for ten years, from 1937 to 1947, only the Nielson
Tower and two runways (today's Ayala Ave. and Paseo de Roxas) were built. A few existing Military
structures, however, remains at the background of Nielson field (Express week -May 16, 1974). APA is
only about 50 years old since the start of its development. The development of the APA can be
categorized into four development stages through its development characters.
Map of Makati City
DESIGN ATTRIBUTES
In the first stage of the development, Master Plan for the APA with a 25-year time frame was
prepared. It was revealed that the plan as a set of document did not exist but several articles in 1950s
discussed the contents of the plan as follows:
a) an industrial area all along the length of the railroad with the industrial school; b)residential areas of
various categories; c) a commercial zone for multi-story office building with restrictions for the parking
facilities; d) regional commercial center with affluent parking space; e) institutional development; and f)
restriction for entire area to promise the orderly development (Manila Chronicle, 23 March, 1969). At the
same time, it is confirmed that initial study for the development was conducted for two years and the
Ayalas started working for the detailed plan in 1952 (Gaevara, 1983). Master plans for Central Business
District (CBD) have been prepared since 1990. Ayala Avenue
Clear vision was prepared for APA as self-contained, and a modern multi-zone sub-city by Col.
McMicking. APA has also been developed as an integrated community with 11 land uses.
Scope and Coverage Land-use prepared by Ayala Corporation covered the entire APA. The restriction in
the residential area as well as business districts let us understood that the plans comprised of zoning,
transportation planning, townscape planning, security management, etc. Also, the fact that the Ayala
Group had worked for the installation of infrastructure in the area, is enough to be considered that
infrastructure development was also incorporated in the development plan. Master plan prepared in the
1990s limited its coverage to only the CBD since the surrounding residential areas were already
developed and maintained by each village association.
Planning Tools Zoning was placed in the entire APA. For the residential subdivision of Forbes
Park, height control, bulk ratio, and minimum construction cost were imposed. For the business strip,
Ayala Avenue, minimum open space ratio, and building control (setback, office use, building design, etc.),
were further applied. For other areas, more relaxed restrictions were imposed. Floor area ratio replaced
with height control in the business districts later. Most of the restrictions were firstly applied in the APA
throughout the Philippines. Also, transportation planning tools such as one-way scheme, on-street parking
and entry control are observed.

Although revised plans as documents were not found in this study, the following information
obtained from the articles enabled us to trace that plan for the APA had been revised:

From above, the consistent and integrated planning philosophy and implementation are
recognized in APA. At the same time, it should be comprehended that planning for APA by Ayala
Group has been demonstrating the norm and leading the standards of the Philippine urban planning.
Consequently, planning pattern of APA is classified as “Comprehensive”.

1. RIZAL PARK - Need for heritage conservation and
preservations
Luneta (literally called little moon), is a 58-hectare historical park
overlooking the Manila Bay, located at the zero kilometer mark in
the midst of a busy and thriving city. For many decades, it was
used by the Spaniards as execution grounds for Filipino rebels
and mutineers. Through the years, it has bear witness to deaths
injudiciously delivered. Today, through some restoration and
renovation works, it is now one of the most treasure landmarks in
the country.
Rizal Park
HISTORY
Rizal Park began in the early 1800s during the Spanish
rule. Even though Manila’s social and business activities were
confined within Intramuros, a small area just south of the walls
was cleared to prevent sneak attacks from patriotic natives. The
area was shaped like a small moon (lunette); thus it was named
Luneta. The Park was also called Bagumbayan (New Town)
during the Spanish colonial era. Over the years, the park has
been the site of some of the most significant moments in the Relief map of the Philippines

fondness for going to church and strolling in parks, were a supermarket, the first local Shakey’s Pizza, the Ayala Museum,
and what passed for an English pub. The much larger open space to the northwest was a cogon wasteland, much as the
Ayala family had found it on acquiring the “hacienda” after World War II. Up to the mid-1970s, there was only a Shell gas
station, mainly to service the trucks and other heavy equipment that used the whole block as an open-air garage. Through
successive boom-bust cycles, that eyesore was swept away by, first a modest-sized Greenbelt Mall, followed in the next
three decades by a long wing-cum-parking building and a bus terminal surrounded by food stands.
By the late 1990s, all that had been renovated or bulldozed, yet again to give way to a sprawling Greenbelt Mall, a
complex of upscale shops and food establishments to rival the spanking new Fort across EDSA. Colorful Seating Areas
What had once been a great deal of open space with trees and hedges in every bit of open ground had essentially
vanished. The greenery that had attracted buyers to a slew of 30 and 40 floor residential condominiums around Greenbelt
had become a series of pocket parks.

Dubbed as the “Nature Park in the City’s Heart”, the NAPWC serves as venue for various educational, scientific,
civic, religious and recreational activities. Its thriving urban biodiversity is composed of different species of endemic and
introduced plant species as well as various animal species which includes birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. The
man-made lagoon found in the park serves as habitat to a number of fish species like tilapia, catfish and snakehead,
among others.

HISTORY
The Park traces back its beginning in 1954 which was then part of the Quezon Memorial Park (QMP) that
measured 197.28 hectares and was established by the virtue of Proclamation No. 42.
1986
By the virtue of the Ministry of Natural Resources Administrative Order No. 4 series of 1986, the park was
renamed as “Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center” (NAPWNC) in honor of the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy”
S. Aquino, Jr.
1987
After the government reorganization, the Park was placed under the administration of the Protected Areas and
Wildlife Bureau (now known as the Biodiversity Management Bureau), a staff bureau of the Department of Environment Park Grounds
and Natural Resources, responsible for the protected area management and wildlife conservation.

HISTORY
May 25, 2000
Through Proclamation No. 312, Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center (NAPWNC) was disestablished as protected area and shall be known as
DENR-Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.
At present, the 22.7-hectare Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center is under the management and administration
of the Biodiversity Management Bureau (formerly known as the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau), a staff
bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The NAPWC envisions to be a world-
class ecotourism destination and a venue for biodiversity conservation and education on Philippine endemic and
rare wild flora and fauna. With its mission to provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational and ecotourism
opportunities in a highly urbanized environment, with areas to play, appreciate the nature and gain delightful
experience and where one can also learn about Philippine wildlife and nature conservation, NAPWC continuously
aims to fulfill its goals and objectives for the betterment of the Park.
