Greekarchitect, urban planner,physician, mathematician, meteorologist andphilosopherand is considered to be the

In 1898, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States. Under American control, the newgovernment invited Daniel Burnham to plan a modern Manila.

[12]The Burnham Plan was a

project that attempted to create Manila as Paris on the Prairie, with a vision of a governmentcenter occupying all of Wallace Field, which extends from Luneta to the present Taft Avenue.

The Philippines Capitol was to rise on the Taft Avenue end of the field, facing toward the sea,and would form, with the buildings of different government bureaus and departments, a mighty

quadrangle, lagoon in the center and a monument to Rizal at its Luneta end. Of Burnhamsproposed government center, only three units were built: the Legislative Building and the

building of the Finance and Agricultural departments, which were completed on the eve of theWar. By then, President Manuel L. Quezon had doomed the Burnham Plan by creating a new

capital outside Manila, which was named after him, Quezon City.
