Abstrakt: The City of Baguio is now in the process of formulating development plans for six identified growth nodes which are the new centers of developments that aims to decentralize and decongest the city's main core and distribute major activities in other areas of the city. These nodes will also house buildings and other facilities that will support the intended function of each hub and will therefore be needing huge amounts of resources when it operates. With the mounting problems faced by the city due to rapid urbanization, the local government is seeking for ways to counter the adverse effects of these rapid developments. With the aim of achieving sustainable development for the new growth nodes, integrating the concept of Urban Metabolism (UM) into the plans, designs and policies that will implement and govern these future developments is seen likely to reduce the mounting problems being experienced by the city. If adopted, these planning approach can be a model for other future developments not only for the City of Baguio but in nearby towns and cities as well. The integration of Urban Metabolism into the growth nodeswill not only improve the quality of our urban environment but the quality of living for the residents including visitors. Thus, in this paper, case study on the concept of UM and the use of Urban Political Ecology (UPE) process of analyzing data is adopted in order to establish a benchmark for sustainable development strategies for the proposed growth nodes. Through UPE, the results derived from this paper through those data gathered and analyzed shall serve as a starting point for establishment of development guidelines and/or policies for Baguio City's growth nodes.
