Makati Avenue
Makati Avenue is a major commercial thoroughfare in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. It forms the eastern border of Ayala Triangle and is one of the three main avenues of the Makati Central Business District. The avenue runs in a somewhat north-south diagonal direction almost parallel with Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA). It passes through two distinct neighborhoods of the city: the Makati CBD and the old ''Makati Población''. At its northern end lies the older part of Makati starting from the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge and J.P. Rizal Avenue. It continues through Población to Gil Puyat Avenue, marking the southern edge of the old district. South of Gil Puyat onto the CBD, the avenue becomes more commercial and upscale. The shopping hub of Ayala Center and Arnaiz Avenue lie at its southern end.
Makati Avenue has two lanes each way in the Poblacion area, widening to three or four in the CBD. It has a short extension into the gated San Lorenzo Village as San Lorenzo Drive.
==History==
The avenue served as the primary access road to the old Nielson Field airport from San Pedro de Macati. It was known as Culi-Culi Road which also lead to the barrio of Culi-Culi (now Pio del Pilar) just west of Nielson Field.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ayala Now April–June 2015 )〕 When the airport was closed down after World War II, its two runways were converted into wide roads known today as Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas. The airport's control tower was preserved and is now a library called Filipinas Heritage Library.〔(History of FHL ) published by Filipinas Heritage Library; accessed 8 September 2013.〕 This library is located along the avenue at the southeast corner of Ayala Triangle.
Makati Avenue, particularly its northern segment in Poblacion, has a history of prostitution. The areas around P. Burgos Street with its nightclubs, bars and budget hotels are considered by many as the red light district of Makati.〔(Flesh trade thrives in Makati ) published by Trafficking.org.ph; accessed 8 September 2013.〕〔(Makati now a sin city ) published by Inquirer.net; accessed 8 September 2013.〕 At present, however, the area is undergoing gentrification with the completion of several new commercial developments including the Century City mall and complex.〔(Century City Mall to set the stage for a shopping district North of Makati ) published by Manila Standard Today; accessed 8 September 2013.〕
