Makati Risk-Sensitive Urban Redevelopment Planning


Background

The Makati Risk-Sensitive Urban Redevelopment Planning is the pilot application of the Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in Megacities Project in Metro Manila. It aims to modify and lessen the physical, social, and economic vulnerability of Makati City to earthquake-related hazards through a comprehensive land use planning and mainstreaming of a Disaster Risk Management Plan (DRMP) at the local government level. The activities are divided in two phases. Phase 1 has set out the guidelines, risk profile, general planning principles and other preparatory work for the formulation of the redevelopment master plan while Phase 2 focuses on situational analysis, site selection and analysis and redevelopment planning.

Activities

The activities completed for Phase 1 include consultations with stakeholders, data collection, creation of a project team, getting the formal approval and endorsement from the City of Makati, GIS mapping, conceptualization of the overall approach and process, developing the building inventory and physical vulnerability assessment of the selected high-risk area, elaboration of socio-economic vulnerability and capacity analysis, establishment of planning principles for urban redevelopment, validation in the field, and peer reviews.

Phase 2 activities are as follows: situational analysis (review of documents); site selection (development of criteria and parameters); site analysis (social vulnerability and capacity analysis, building inventory and structural assessment); and redevelopment planning (SWOT analysis, visioning, master planning, action planning).
