There's always something new to learn about Philippine Real Estate.
On this pursuit for further knowledge and understanding of the country's real estate industry, I went ahead and joined UP School of Urban and Regional Planning's Diploma Program wherein we got the opportunity of conducting a Tactical Urbanism Project as part of our practical curriculum.
In this project, we visited a local community in Paco, Manila wherein we went door-to-door asking local residents what they loved about their neighborhood and what they wished would improve. The locals were asked to sketch out their visions for their newly improved community, while we were tasked to collate their ideas at the end.
What we found was the community valued People, Community, and Open Spaces the most as these themes were consistently present throughout all the residents' sketches.
