Baguio as Global City
Baguio is a product of human development, resulting in an urban-ecological place. The city’s timeless beauty is not a product of a mere master plan. It does not have massive capital incomes like other global cities in the National Capital Region. It is rather a product of colonization and stood the test of time. Thus, the creation of Baguio, a precious city, should continue to thrive. Baguio’s central business district has its own charming magic. Those global cities shined up that, true enough, offer convenience and aesthetics but are rootless and easily replicable in any location.
Its many buildings are explorable from its basement to its roof deck. Like MaharlikaLivelihood Center, each floor is full of cafes, eateries, salons, dental offices, toy stores, and computer shops. The pedestrians can go up, down, left, and right, and each direction explodes with entrepreneurship. The availability of low-rent spaces in the central business district. The business continues to thrive in the town because the charming old buildings are affordable at a lower price.
Baguio is an exquisite, worth-visiting city with a vignette of creativity and inclusivity. The intricate tapestry instilled by its culture and the strength of its community made it stand stronger through time. It is the perfect place to visit when you want to wander and have peace of mind.
