Urban Innovations: The Grand Canal of Pasig
Asian Development Bank | September 2008
Abstract
Attempts to rehabilitate the Pasig River in the past were mostly short-lived. Nearly all failed because those who wanted to clean the river concentrated only on the river and not on the combination of factors in the urban environment that had degraded and misused the river. Serious rehabilitation of the Pasig River began in 1991 with the help of the Danish International Development Agency (Danida). In 1999, the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission was created to consolidate all efforts to rehabilitate the Pasig River into a single body.
