What is the maximum length of a block according to BP 220?

According to BP 220, which governs the guidelines for socialized housing projects in the Philippines, the maximum length of a block is indeed set at 400 meters. This regulation is in place to ensure accessibility and manage the scale of development within residential areas. By limiting the length of blocks, the law promotes better connectivity and provides easier access to communal facilities and amenities, thereby enhancing the living environment for residents. Additionally, shorter blocks facilitate pedestrian movement, making neighborhoods more walkable and reducing reliance on vehicles.
