assetto urbanistico incentrato sulla plaza (vedi sotto)
Explanation:
Le chiese erano parte integrante dell'assetto urbanistico, incentrato sulla plaza...

Nell'articolo di cui ti lascio il link si spiega che il "plaza complex" è il modello urbanistico base adottato dai colonizzatori spagnoli. La plaza (io lascerei anche in traduzione il termine spagnolo) è la piazza principale, dove di solito si svolge il mercato e/o la vita sociale del paese, e di solito su di essa si affaccia una chiesa (per l'appunto) o un altro edificio istituzionale.

Infatti:
"What is common in Philippine towns and cities is the so-called plaza complex, the living landmark of Spanish colonialism. The town plaza community revolves around a central area, with an imposing church, friar’s convento, municipal hall or municipio, palengke or marketplaces, and mansions or bahay-bato of the local elite and other wealthy residents. The plaza is the center of inter-village activities such as trade and commerce, fiestas, electoral campaigns, religious activities, and cultural performances. It is where people come for basic health, social, and government services. At the same time, it is also a focal point for political demonstrations and mass mobilization."

io ho capito che si tatti di una pianificazione della città (town planning). Magari qualcuno confermerà o si metterà a ridere della mia interpretazione!
