Iloilo City a refllection city in Spanish and USA Colonial
Iloilo City's urban planning and architecture reflect the plans of the Spanish colonial and the American colonial administrations.
Since Iloilo City is a conglomeration of towns, the districts have their own plaza complexes or town squares which are surrounded by establishments of political and ecclesiastical influence, such as churches and old administrative halls. In 1930, Juan M. Arellano of the Bureau of Public Works designed the schematic plan for Iloilo City, which was influenced by Ebenezer Howard's "Garden City."
