Frost Plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frost Plan (also known as the Frost-Arellano Plan) was the popular name for the Plan of Quezon City, co-authored by Juan M. Arellano and Harry Frost, together with Alpheus Williams and Louis Croft. The plan was approved in 1941, two years after the creation of Quezon City.[1] The Plan was revised in 1949.
On October 12, 1939, Commonwealth Act. No. 502 was enacted, which created Quezon City. The following barrios or sitios: Balingasa, Balintawak, Galas, Kaingin, Kangkong, La Loma, Malamig, Masambong, Matalahib, San Isidro, San Jose, Santol, and Tatalon from Caloocan;[2] Cubao, the western half of Diliman, Kamuning, New Manila, Roxas, and San Francisco del Monte from San Juan; Balara, Barangka, the eastern half of Diliman, Jesus de la Peña and Krus na Ligas[3] from Marikina; Libis, Santolan and Ugong Norte from Pasig, Greenhills and the nearby areas surrounding Wack Wack Golf and Country Club from Mandaluyong, and some barrios from Montalban and San Mateo were to be given to the new capital city. Instead of opposing them, the seven towns willingly gave land to Quezon City in the belief that it would benefit the country's new capital.
On July 14, 1948, Republic Act No. 333 was enacted which established the Capital City Planning Commission, headed by Architect Juan M. Arellano, to craft the master plan for the proposed capital city.[4]
