Innovative Infrastructures
Makati will continue to provide basic infrastructure support such
as roads and bridges, to improve internal circulation and provide
better linkages to the regional and international facilities such as
highways, airports and seaports. Public buildings and structures
shall be built and upgraded to make them disaster risk-sensitive.
A collaborative framework shall be established to allow utility
companies to invest and provide sustainable service even in the
midst of disaster. Information and Communication Technology
providers will be encouraged to continually support the widening
and increasing demand for bandwidth including a high range of
communication facilities to make the City connected.

2.2.2 Strategies
These goals will be pursued according to the following strategies:
Enhanced local governance and fiscal sustainability. The City shall
continue to enhance its institutional capability so that it can better
manage and maximize its assets. Makati shall continuously find ways
to generate and mobilize resources. The City shall judiciously allocate
its resources so that the needed infrastructure and institutions can be
put in place and sustain its robust economy.
Increased number and improved quality of facilities and services
in support of business and investment tourism. Increasing the
quantity and upgrading the quality of facilities and services attract more
businesses and investments in tourism. Aside from providing areas for
these land use types, the City shall create an environment that
encourages business, services and tourism.
Strong Public-Private Partnership (PPP). A healthy economy that
provides opportunities for both private business and the Citys overall
development will persuade the private sector to forge partnerships with
the City Government that will not only be profitable but will also
beneficial in the development of the City.
A cosmopolitan city is a city populated by people from several countries living together with
different customs, cultures, and languages that all contribute to enrich the citys economy and
urbanity.

Green Environment
Urbanization is as a major contributor to carbon emissions, depletion of
resources, and environmental pollution. Sustainable Urbanism (Farr,
2008) which is also referred to as Green Urbanism espouses more
environment sensitive technology, public transport, green building and
green design principles, but more importantly a major lifestyle shift that
favors walking, bicycling, and energy-reducing practices.
In Makati, water is very much a part of the Citys environment with
rivers and creeks defining most of its city boundaries and other water
channels passing through it. Pasig River is a significant body of water
of Metro Manila that connects two equally important bodies of water
(i.e. Manila Bay and the Laguna de Bay). The Riverside Development
Program was identified even before the formulation of the 2001 CLUP
but it must be sustained and expanded to further increase the area
allocated for open spaces. Green spaces can further expand through
recovery of easements along waterways and conversion into linear
parks and the landscaping of main roads and walkways thus, creating

The Land Use Plan for 2013-2023 is a detailed translation of the Physical
Framework/Conceptual Plans. The resulting land use distribution of the 20132023 Land Use Plan is summarized and compared to the 2001-2011 Land
Use Plan in Table 1.
The Existing Land Use as of 2012 (Figure 12) shows that Residential Zone
comprises 35% of the total land area of Makati, followed by Roads with
23.6%, and Commercial 14.8% and SMU accounting for 14.6%. Very few
Industrial uses remain; there is also relatively small amount of Parks and
Open Spaces.
For the Proposed Land Use Plan for 2013 to 2023, (Figure 13) Residential
Area will still be the dominant land use (30.8%) although its share declines
compared with the 2012 Existing Land Use owing to conversion of some
residential lots into low density commercial/mixed use development. There is
minimal change in Commercial Zone but several blocks of the Commercial
Zone are now rezoned into special precincts for redevelopment.
Three new land use zones are introduced in the 2013-2023 Land Use Plan as
a strategy to redevelop areas that either have not reached their full potential
or in most need of enhancement (due to significant City assets they contain),
or restructuring because of their vulnerability to geological and hydrometeorological hazards. Urban Redevelopment Programs for underachieving
areas are designated as SPUR which account for 0.85 sq.km. (3.1% of the
Citys total land area) while for communities in critically hazardous areas are
called DRIVE. The total land area for DRIVE sites is 0.23 sq.km. (0.8% share
to total land area of the City). A Heritage Preservation Zone (HPZ) is also
introduced to spatially designate the area within the Poblacion that is home to
history, arts and cultural facilities. The said Zones are additional to the
existing Special Development Zones which are already established in the
CLUP 2001-2011 namely: Government Center Zone (GCZ), Riverside
Development Zone (RDZ), and Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Note that most of the decreases or increases in the land areas and
corresponding percentages share to total land area of the Proposed Land Use
for 2013-2023 can be attributed to the delineation of several neighborhood
blocks into SPUR, DRIVE, or HPZ.

THE
Introduction
It has been acknowledged that natural disasters throughout the world have
occurred with more frequency and severity in the last twenty years, resulting
in the loss of economic, humanitarian, and ecological resources in the areas
struck by them. Many areas in the Philippines, whether urban or rural, are
known to be vulnerable to natural hazards such as typhoons, floods,
landslides, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
In 2010, it was estimated that about 66.40 % of the total population in the
Philippines was living in urban areas.3 Many of the old cities in the Philippines
developed with little consideration for the geo-physical and hydrometeorological hazards of their settlement sites and therefore were not able to
avoid or mitigate the potential risks brought about by earthquakes and floods.
The difficult tasks of disaster management and response in cities have been
made all the more challenging by rapid urbanization and the increase in the
number of densely populated informal settlements. The marginalized sector is
often the most severely affected by natural disasters largely because of the
poor location and lack of physical planning of their communities.
More recent and comprehensive studies of the geology in the Philippines
have provided more precise geophysical information such as the presence of
fault lines (the causal location of earthquakes) and the location of areas prone
to liquefaction. In the mega-city of metro manila for example, there are three
geological fault lines that cross the component Local Ggovernment Units
(LGUs) of Taguig City, Makati City, Pateros, Pasig City, Marikina City, and

Legal Bases
Based on the Local Government Code of the Philippines (Republic Act 7160),
all cities and municipalities are mandated to formulate a Comprehensive Land
Use Plan (CLUP) that will designate the type (e.g., residential, commercial)
and intensity of land uses throughout the city or municipality. The Zoning
Ordinance is the legal instrument that enforces the Land Use Plan of the city
or municipality.
In 2005, the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) called for worldwide
implementation of DRR initiatives to substantially reduce by 2015 the loss of
lives as well as socio-economic and environmental resources brought about
by disasters. In response to HFAs call, the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) Regional Development Office prepared a set
of guidelines in 2008 to mainstream risk reduction within development and
land use planning.
As a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,
the Philippines passed Republic Act No. 9279 - the Climate Change Act of
2009. It a law mainstreaming climate change into government policy
formulations, establishing the framework strategy and program on climate
change, creating for this purpose the Climate Change Commission, and for
other purposes. The Climate Change Act adopts the ultimate objective of the

Conceptual Framework

In the process of formulating the New Makati Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(2013-2023), hazard characterization/frequency analysis was completed. The
other steps (i.e. consequence analysis, risk estimation, and risk prioritization)
have to be completed in a more detailed undertaking involving more experts
and consultation with the communities in all the barangays in Makati. Such a
consultative process will require more time and resources to complete.
Through characterization/frequency analysis and analysis of available
information, however, several critical areas that require immediate
intervention can be identified. DRA was incorporated in the land use planning
process in the:
a) analysis of the planning environment;
b) identification of issues and problems;
c) formulation of goals, objectives and targets;
d) formulation of development strategies; and
e) identification of programs, projects and activities.
2.5.4 Planning for Disaster Risk Reduction and ClimateChange Adaptation (DRR-CCA) in Metro Manila
Disasters can disrupt social, economic, and physical development and even
set back gains. Deaths, injuries, community dislocation, damage to
infrastructure, destruction of industries, and disruption of economic activities
as a result of disasters can increase poverty. Because of the limited
resources of both national and local governments and the unpredictability of

The poor and informal settlers are considered the most vulnerable to disasters
as they have the least resources and are often given the least attention by
local governments.10 Urban low-cost housing are often located in areas with
narrow roads and congested conditions, while informal settlements are
situated in the most hazardous locations close to where there are livelihood
opportunities (e.g., along railroad tracks, creeks and rivers, underneath
bridges)

susceptible to liquefaction. Ground shaking will cause the sand to behave like
a liquid with an upward flow towards the surface which would consequently
lead to differential settlement. The potential for liquefaction in Makati City
ranges from low to none in areas that have Guadalupe Tuff as subsurface and
moderate in areas that have Quaternary Alluvium underneath.
Forthcoming Planned Unit Developments (PUD) and urban renewal projects
have to contend with this limitation.
Earthquakes Impact on Lifelines
Lifelines are infrastructures that are essential for a community to function (e.g.
roads, water supply lines, sewage lines, power lines and telecommunication
systems). The MMEIRS report (2004) presented estimates of impacts of an
M7.2 earthquake originating from the West Valley Fault (WVF) on Makati
Citys lifelines. Earthquakes can just as easily damage underground systems
(water supply, sewage, power, communication) as much as surface
infrastructure. Based on the report, most of Makati City will experience very
minimal damage to underground pipe systems in the event of an M7.2 tremor
originating from the West Valley Fault. The pipe systems in Barangays
Comembo, San Lorenzo, San Antonio, Santa Cruz, Tejeros, La Paz, Palanan,
San Isidro, Bangkal, and Dasmarias are slightly more at risk of damage,
although considered manageable in a post-disaster scenario.
Figure 21. The West Valley Fault and Areas Prone to Liquefaction
in Makati City
Four barangays on the east side of Makati City straddle the West
56
Valley Fault Line. There are also large sections on the west and north
sides of Makati City that are moderately prone to liquefaction (areas
in brown).
The lack or inadequacy of disaster response may result in more deaths and
injuries after an earthquake rather than during the occurrence of the event
itself. Emergency response is crucial in the saving of lives and property. Apart
from the quality of equipment and trained personnel, accessibility is also a
consideration in reducing loss of lives and property damage. Areas have to
be permeable (can be accessed through several routes) which means there
should be no dead-ends and roads have to be wide enough for emergency
response teams to get through.

offered.
In residential areas adjacent to the City of Manila (western barangays) that
are situated in low elevations, community retention or detention ponds have to
be set up to help impound surface run-off. Such detention ponds have to be
creatively designed so that they can be used as parks, playgrounds, and other
community spaces during dry periods.

open spaces. To mitigate the flooding in the area, it is proposed that the open
space be designed as a sunken park which will also function as a detention
pond during extreme rainfall events. The sunken open space can temporarily
impound excessive run-off to prevent the flooding of streets and homes.
Some of the recreational/ community facilities that can be introduced include a
skateboard park (X-Park or extreme sports park), amphitheater or outdoor
performance venue, and a childrens playground.
The BLISS Housing Project in Barangay Tejeros can also be redeveloped to
create more residential units that can accommodate not only the existing
residents but also additional units that can be sold at free market prices.
Public-Private Partnership arrangements will allow the DRIVE renewal project
in Barangay Tejeros to pay for itself. Similar projects may be developed for
other flood-prone barangays once the DRIVE pilot project in Barangay
Tejeros is proven to be successful.
harms way. The goal is to recover the ten-meter easement so that it can be
converted into a linear park that also increases the inventory of open spaces
in the barangay. The linear park will improve the environment, provide a safe
walking and bicycling path and increase the mobility of the residents. The
linear park should terminate in a bigger park on the western part of the
barangay beside Circumferential Road 5. The recovery of lots that are on the
West Valley Fault to convert into a strip park is expected to take several years
but each household removed will mean one less family at risk. The DRIVE
project can be piloted in Barangay Rizal but can also be undertaken
simultaneously for all the barangays crossed by the West Valley Fault.
