This event took place at the New Clark City, Tarlac together with foreign delegates from Europe, U.S.A., South Africa, and Asia, from September 10 to 13, 2024.
Herrera presented his dissertation titled 鈥�Reinvigorating Urban Lifestyle Mobility: A Convenience-Value Evaluation of the Social Architecture and Planning of the Sampaloc Skywalk鈥�. He shared the study of integrating an innovative elevated walkway from Espa帽a Boulevard up to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) 2 – C.M. Recto Station in the City of Manila.
His work focused on the socio-cultural and people-centric growth, the politico-economic and community development, and the environmental and urban development needed to achieve human growth and well-being through an elevated seamless walking experience. The walkway will be interconnected with mass transportation hubs such as the North-South Commuter Railway, the LRT2 – C.M. Recto Station, and LRT1 – D. Jose Station and will also be linked to the various buildings and establishments in the area promoting economic growth.
Herrera further reported that through the conducted surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews, the proposed structure gained existential and inclusive support from society.
