Zamboanga City needs to establish a vital design and implementation program for its badly needed Civic Center.

As the city grows bigger, its present state of abysmal master planning implementation will choke the historical landmark structure of City Hall with its citizen’s inherent squatter mentality, closing off any feasible plan, or chance, to establish a much needed Civic Center design.

We are strongly urging the City Mayor’s office, all city government officials and offices, to make a concerted effort to lay down a City Civic Center area along the present location of City Hall, within the additional properties bordering alongside Don Pablo Lorenzo Street, Valderosa Street, a new Villalobos Street extention from Valderosa Street cutting into the Warf area water, and back to Don Pablo Lorenzo Street (including the Don Pablo Lorenzo Street Extension in between).

Above is a vision design for how the city’s Civic Center should expand and lay out its streets, pedestrian-friendly walkways, and gathering areas.  Here's hoping the city leaders still have time and capacity to make the right future for its citizens.  Stop wasting people's money by giving them instead a reason to feel proud of their city and heritage, and rekindle civic pride with the implementation of this Civic Center design.
