One of the best designed sub-divisions is located in Tumaga. It is the Aurora Village. The roads are over 8 meters wide with sidewalks. Some of the sub-divisions in Zamboanga are so poorly planned that if there is fire, the fire department won't be able to drive in with their fire-trucks because the roads are so narrow.
