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.
