| Date Issued | June 2024 |
| Abstract | Women have room for empowerment in hypermasculine spaces that heavily contribute to gender inequality. As time passed, addressing women's empowerment shifted towards empowering femininity present across all genders. Translated into our urban spaces, the New Bilibid Prison Reservation (NBPR) in Muntinlupa City suppresses femininity because of its prison function. As the prison facilities together with the inmates are envisioned to be relocated away from NBPR, the land is subject to redevelopment. Hence, this study was conducted to reimagine the landscape of New Bilibid Prison. The goal of the study is to propose landscape development plans that highlight the feminine culture in direct relation to the current context of the New Bilibid Prison Reservation. Integrating gender and development approaches to landscape planning, qualitative methods of survey, interviews, and future scenario landscape workshops were used to gather women’s narratives, activities, and gender meanings as a way of characterizing their femininity. Key findings include: (1) Care culture is central to women, nurturing relationships progressively, (2) healthcare is highly linked with care culture, and (3) care culture is confined to be private. Three planning schemes were developed based on the data gathered which include tourism, economic, and civic development. The assessment showed that civic development within the site will best include feminine narratives A model site was chosen to illustrate the applications of the principles and planning proposals. By closely examining women’s femininity, the narrative of the New Bilibid Prison shifted to include care culture. |
