    About this ebook

    The Urban Operational Plan (UOP) 2012-2020 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) supports ADB developing member countries (DMCs) 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 DMCs.

      Abstract

      The Asian Development Bank (ADB) under its Urban Operational Plan will support developing member countries (DMCs) in developing their urban economies, in improving environmental sustainability, and in making pro-poor investments. This provides a critical opportunity for the urban sector to potentially play an integrative role, providing a way to focus ADB operations beyond traditional urban investment sectors to maximize impact. The Manual on National Urban Assessments provides a framework and toolbox for conducting rapid urban sustainability assessments at both national and urban region levels for DMCs of ADB. This case study on the Philippines is based on the National Urban Assessments framework for developing strategic policy options and targeted investments in the urban sector.
