Update on pedestrianization project in Intramuros as of 5 March 2024.
Intramuros is undergoing revitalization that aims to transform the historic walled city into a pedestrian-friendly tourist destination. Several projects are currently underway such as the
pedestrianization of Juan Luna street and restoration of Intendencia building.
Once completed, this long stretch of Juan Luna Street will be closed to traffic and only pedestrians will be allowed to use the road. General Luna Street was chosen as it passes by most of the
historical sites in the district such the Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, and the Casa Manila complex.
The pedestrianization project begins from General Luna St. corner Aduana St. stretching south to Muralla St. near Puerta Real (Royal Gate) at the district’s encompassing wall. The study noted that pedestrianizing General Luna St. “provides an unobstructed route linking the important attractions inside Intramuros to the attractions in Rizal Park.”
The AI is proposing to fully pedestrianize Gen. Luna Street as a pilot site to see how this improves mobility within Intramuros. The pedestrianization will also support the redevelopment of open spaces that both aim to relieve the essence of and reconnect to this historical place.
The 2022 Onwards vision is anchored on three pillars: 1) convergence of urban regeneration, 2) cultural heritage and 3) sustainable tourism, which will enable Intramuros to become a “sustainable creative urban heritage district.”
Six priority programs are slated to achieve this vision, namely: 1) preparation and implementation of the first Intramuros’ Conservation Management Plan (CMP), 2) pedestrianization of the streets, 3) Manila’s Tourism Circuit, 5) open spaces redevelopment,
and 6) the SIMPLE program or the Strategy for the Effective Mainstreaming of People’s Living Entitlements which will address the long standing concern on the problem of informal settlers.
The pedestrianization of major roads enables better
protection and appreciation of major destinations. The pedestrianization will also support the redevelopment of open spaces that both aim to relive the essence of and reconnect to this historical place.
