| Resource Title | Park viability: an assessment of the park functions of Metro Manila’s shopping mall roof decks |
| Date Issued | June 2024 |
| Abstract | The research examines the extent to which park functions are evident in the existing shopping mall roof decks across Metro Manila. This assessment evaluates the feasibility of the nine selected case studies to perform as supplemental urban parks, through the observation of the presence of (1) Recreational Function, (2) Aesthetic Function, (3) Ecological Function, (4) Environmental Function, and (5) Park Protection. Field measurements were obtained to quantify the allotment of green and non-green areas, highlighting the provision of landscaped sections in the shopping mall roof decks. The research identifies and maps out how each case study functions as a park. The study reveals varying degrees of manifestation of each park function across the selected case studies. The research underscores the viability of shopping mall roof decks to contribute to the public’s need for park alternatives in dense urban environments like Metro Manila. |
