Abstract
Quezon City is the largest city in the National Capital Region (NCR) composed of different districts. This study looked at the history of Quezon City and explored the potential of one of its districts, the Lifestyle-Tourism District. The aim is to identify the open spaces in the district and develop a methodology to classify them and determine their functions. The different open spaces are identified based on the adapted definitions from related literature. The open spaces are classified into typologies based on surface cover, accessibility, and functions. The functions of the typologies of open space are then determined based on the sociocultural services they can provide. The study found there are few open space typologies in the northern part of the district compared to the southern area where there is a degree of concentration of open spaces. The combined open spaces and their sociocultural services in the Lifestyle-Tourism District could strengthen the lifestyle and tourism components and gain the potential to serve as an intangible remnant of the original Frost-Arellano Plan.
