MASTER PLAN FOR ANANAS NEW COMMUNITY IN THE PHILIPPINES—A HOLISTIC FOOD SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Like many growing metropolitan areas worldwide, Manila’s growth comes at the expense of agricultural land and water quality, compromising the lifeline resources of the region’s existing communities. Ananas represents an alternative approach to urban development that aspires to secure these vital resources while celebrating the agricultural, social, and ecological heritage of the Philippines and its “bayanihan” spirit of communal unity and cooperation in a contemporary and innovative manner.
