A PROPOSED REGIONAL CENTER

STREETSCAPING
(TUGUEGARAO CITY)
Background of the Study

Every urban street is a unique and evolving


organism, and every city has streets across a
broad spectrum of contexts. Designing for great
streets requires clever and careful balancing of
the many demands and activities throughout the
day.
Background of the Study
Streets must provide at every scale for the many
people walking, cycling, riding collective transport,
driving, making deliveries, selling goods, or simply
stopping to take a breath. Above all else, streets are
places for people, and a city cannot work without
human centered streets.

The City of Tuguegarao is the educational and regional
center of Cagayan Valley Region. It is distinctively the
most populous city and the most populated place in
the entire region with at least 150, 000 populations
with estimated foot traffic of at least 500,000 to
1,000,000 people a day.

The regional center of Cagayan is the main focus of
the streetscaping. Beautification of this part gives an
identity to Tuguegarao which where the capitol and the
municipal hall are located.

• Not enough street trees along CVMC which is the most


populous part of the area.
• Lacking of green areas which can help to minimize
heat during summer.
Purpose/Relevance/

To make difference on how people
experience a life on a well-designed
community by starting on our very own
Regional Center emphasizing identity
through streetscape design. Creating an
identity in place is not an easy task but

to provide safe and comfort for the people using
everyday. Their everyday lifestyle will be change slowly
by promoting walkable community ad maintaining the
place with a proper discipline on streets. The study on
Streetscape Design will also help to apply the relevance
