3. What is an Urban Area?
• Human settlement with high population density and infrastructure of build
environment

• Sub-urban (suburbs)
→ Outlying area with high
concentration of people mostly for
residential purposes
example: Grand Europa
→ Pocket of development for
industrial or commercial purpose

→ Is a large human settlement generally with extensive systems for
housing, transportation, sanitation, utilities, land use and
communication

7. Categories of Urban Areas
• Supercities / Mega cities
→ Extra large cities that has more
than 10 million population, or
business entities with very large
production output, and other
activities that is beyond normal.

10. Urban Planning

11. What is Urban Planning?
• A technical and political process concerned with the
development and design of Land Use
→ Includes air, water, sanitation, environment preservation
→ Transportation, communication and distribution networks
→ Effects on social and economic activities

12. What is Urban Planning?
• Closely related to urban design
→ Streets, parks, building, color coordination, topography harmony
→ Nature conservation

13. What is Urban Planning?
• Guides orderly development in urban, suburban and rural areas
→ Responsible for planning of settlement and communities
→ Responsible for balance development and use of water and resources
→ Protection on too much urban encroachments on the rural areas

14. What is Urban Planning?
• Cagayan de Oro Urban Planning

15. What is Urban Planning?
• Works closely with cognate fields of
→ Land-use planning
→ Zoning
→ Economic development
→ Environmental planning
→ Transportation planning
• Concerns on big picture and future proof
→ Research and analysis of events, trends, regional and world movement
→ Architecture, urban design, tourism
→ Public consultation, policy recommendations, politics, peace and order

16. Types of Planning
 Traditional or
Comprehensive Planning
→ Characterized by politically
neutral experts with rational
view of UrbDev
→ Focused the form and content
of the new development
→ Commonly used after WW2
and early 19th century

17. Types of Planning
 System Planning
→ Addresses the impact of Unforeseen Growth
→ More analytical view with focus on process and less on the physical plan
→ Extensively used in the 50s and 70s

18. Types of Planning
 Democratic Planning
→ Result of societal loosening of
class and race barriers
→ Citizens have more voice in
planning for the future community
 Advocacy and Equity Planning

sought specifically to address social
issues of inequality and injustice in
community planning
→ Defends the weak vs strong

 Environmental Planning
→ Developed as many of the ecological and social implications of global
development were first widely understood

21. Types of Planning
 Tenure Responsive Planning
→ Recognize that land use planning should be collaborative but with the
purpose of tenure security improvement
→ Hybrid approach of traditional, advocacy, democratic and bottom-up
efforts with focus towards tenure security outcomes

22. Land Use

23. What is Land Use?
• Management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into
built environment such as settlement and semi-natural habitat

24. Regulations & Regulators
• DENR
→ Govern and manages ALL natural
resources of the country: private or

→ Quasi-judicial entity that is responsible for
the optimum exploitation, utilization
development, conservation and protection
of the country’s water resources

25. Environment
• Impact of Human Activities
→ Deforestation, losses on fauna and flora, massive extinctions, climate change

26. Environment
• Fossil Fuels
→ Major anthropogenic sources of Carbon Dioxide and greenhouse gas

27. Urban Growth Boundaries
• A form of land-use regulation
→ Restrict development of farmland into residential that eventually to commercial
