Spatial Development Strategy

CCW Planning Approach

CENTERS are the

nucleus of

economic activities

with high

population

densities

connected by built

infrastructures and

multimodal

transportation

system

CORRIDORS are primarily

transportation arteries linking

centers to centers serving as transit

stations, interchange, established

neighborhood or general corridor areas

WEDGES are tracts of land between

corridors are the with less dense population and limited housing

and supporting facilities and services.

Includes green corridor, protection

and production areas

CENTERS CORRIDORS WEDGES

Spatial Development Strategy

Center/Cluster-Corridor-Wedge Planning Approach

• Directs & stimulates development & growth from W-E

& strengthens N-S development & access corridors

• Reflects polycentric urban character of the region

• Provides opportunities to facilitate development in the

different areas of the region by improving the RPFP
