This chapter presents a detailed overview of the physical transformation to the built fabric of Manila after American colonization commenced in 1898, e.g., via discussing the 1905 city plan composed by Daniel Burnham. The picture postcards presented in this part of the book reveal the establishment of new public spaces and the construction of new public edifices; in other words, the postcards exhibit a different colonial cityscape than what existed pre-1898. But what exactly was the form of the new urban fabric? How did it symbolize the establishment of “modern Philippine society” under the guidance of the United States?

摘要

This chapter presents a detailed overview of the physical transformation to the built fabric of Manila after American colonization commenced in 1898, e.g., via discussing the 1905 city plan composed by Daniel Burnham. The picture postcards presented in this part of the book reveal the establishment of new public spaces and the construction of new public edifices; in other words, the postcards exhibit a different colonial cityscape than what existed pre-1898. But what exactly was the form of the new urban fabric? How did it symbolize the establishment of “modern Philippine society” under the guidance of the United States?
