A cinematic timelapse of a Manila canal-side community transformed into safe, modern waterfront housing — designed for the same residents.
This redevelopment concept reimagines a dense informal settlement built along a polluted canal into an organized, flood-protected residential district. Instead of relocation, the area is upgraded in place through structured planning, engineered embankments, and modern tropical housing design.
The transformation includes:
• Replacement of unsafe canal-side structures
• Reinforced concrete flood-control embankments
• Clean and widened canal rehabilitation
• Mid-rise modern tropical townhouses
• Palm-lined pedestrian walkways
• Safer, healthier living environment
The canal remains the central spine of the community — no longer hidden or polluted, but restored and integrated into everyday life.
This concept visualizes what inclusive urban redevelopment in Manila could look like when infrastructure and housing are planned together.
