Republic of the Philippines National Urban Assessment
Asian Development Bank | August 2014
Abstract
The Urban Operational Plan (UOP) 2012-2020 of the Asian Development Bank(ADB) supports ADB developing member countries in expanding their urban economies, improving environmental sustainability, and making pro-poor investments through a 3E approach (Economy, Environment, and Equity). This case study on the Philippines is based on thematic areas of the National Urban Sustainability Assessment framework for developing strategic policy options and targeted investments in the urban sector. This publication shows how the framework acts as a tool for conducting rapid urban assessments at both national and urban region levels for developing member countries.
