Project Overview
This paper discusses the proposed development for a food park which primarily addresses Informal Urban Retailing within Intramuros. The project focuses on Blocks 29 and 30, identifying its strengths and weaknesses with regard to the proposal. The group identifies two (2) major problems namely; Informal Urban Retailing and the Vacant Lots in the area. Under the first problem issues such as street encroachment, sanitation, food disposal, and loitering are considered. While shanti areas, underdeveloped and vacant private lots are considered for the second major problem.
As an initiative to bridge the gap between informal street vendors and the lack of properly occupied spaces in Blocks 29 and 30, the group considers a Food Park to resolve these problems. The project aims to relocate and optimize the street food vendors operations in block 29 and 30, at the same time provide a commercial area that would cater to students, staff , and other consumers nearby. Furthermore, the project aims to promote food distribution that is safe and convenient for the consumers by looking into the sanitation system of the block. With these, the researchers advocate for a healthier and cleaner environment for the stakeholders of blocks 29 and 30.
