Spatial Planning Is A Crucial Role in Creating Sustainable Development

Spatial planning is a crucial role in creating sustainable development and increasing a
community's quality of life. Lack of planning can lead to overcrowded communities and
negative environmental impacts. As spatial development concepts can assist in urban design
controls and the development of community planning in terms of zoning of nodes, pathways, and
road networks.
There are patterns in urbanization that may impact community development at a regional level.
These patterns are Monocentric and polycentric approaches that may create an effective
urbanization strategy for obtaining an optimal development outcome on the community's social
and economic growth. Wherein, Monocentric Planning emphasizes the development of a single
primary urban pole with surrounding suburban districts and a Polycentric approach that has
numerous central branches in every quadrant of the community.
To be more concise, the monocentric urban solution uses a structural property with reduces the
total average density of development as one moves away from the center, with an industry and
business center in the core and a circular residential region surrounding it. In a way that all the
production industries or structures are supposed to plan in a point of the center of the city as
supposing that all the residents and workers need to commute to the central.
An example of this urban pattern in London, as their central business district (CBD), the
remainder of Inner London, Outside London, the inner counties, which are mostly contiguous to
London, and the external towns are separated into five divisions for this research. At this
moment, counties are mostly ceremonial and utilized for topographical convenience.
However, there is a gradual disappearance of this type of solution. According to International

Business School Yunnan University of Finance and Economics that social group distribution, as
well as the increasing prevalence of advanced transportation and developing communication
technology, which allows both people and commercial sectors to move from the core across
other areas for all sorts of businesses and existence of developing activities that are far from the
access of Central Node (Central Business District) that result to the disappearance of the
monocentric urban model. Which leads to a Polycentric type of urban system.
A polycentric type of urban system has several centers of the business district, as its strengths
define by its accessibility in every area which leads to energy efficiency. However, the weakness
of this type of model is a little bit confusing because of the nodes and paths and at some point
congestion may occur.
It is unavoidable to embrace the concentration of all major infrastructure and services. This will
shorten the distance that individuals must travel from different parts of town. The city's layout
and form, as well as the road network, must be constructed in such a way that walking from any
location in town.
As an example, metro manila was designed as a polycentric model. Daniel Burnham, the great
architect, and urban designer once had a magnificent vision for Manila. Burnham identified
Manila's ability towards becoming a thriving metropolis of interconnected public spaces, living
in conjunction with the surrounding environment, nearly a century before the Bonifacio Global
City began development.
