Philippine land, architecture and industry are heavily rooted in its Spanish colonial development, and then influenced greatly by American architecture, city planning styles later on. Many Philippine towns are based on the “pueblo” style of Spain where the church and the plaza are the center of town and streets fan out from these facilities. Industrial land has mainly been “hacienda” style — as a matter of fact this issue still affects current geopolitics as land reform is not fully achieved in the country. Later on structures would be influenced by such movements as modernist, art deco, neo-classical, etc, but many of these structures were destroyed during the Battle of Manila near the end of World War 2. Urban planning was not fully implemented in Manila, which made it end up as a mix of ultra-modern shopping and housing districts, slums, and historical districts all mixed up right next each other. Other provincial capitals like Cebu, Davao, and Bacolod are only recently modernizing, but large modern buildings are sprouting up in districts with narrow streets designed for the old Spanish-style barrio.
