Book Description
This publication documents the current assessment and strategic investment priorities of the Government of the Philippines and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the country's urban sector. It highlights sector performance, priority development constraints, government plans and strategies, past ADB support and experience, support of other development partners, and future ADB support strategy. The road map covers four main support areas: (i) preparation of a loan for the Philippine Solid Waste Management Sector Project in 2012 or 2013; (ii) future technical assistance (TA) and lending activities---to be discussed with the government---that may include a sector project for markets and transport terminals, which could further include land and sea transport facilities; (iii) projects of the Urban Development and Water Division of ADB's Southeast Asia Department, which may support flood control and the efforts of communities to mitigate the effects of climate change; and further (iv) stand-alone policy and advisory TA or capacity development TA, to promote performance-oriented governance and overall strengthening of urban sector agencies, depending on requests from the government.

Book Description
Getting basic services—housing, transportation, trash disposal, water, and sanitation—poses almost unimaginable challenges to the urban poor of Asia. The Inclusive City provides case studies of how governmental programs attempt to meet these challenges by directly involving the poor themselves in improving their access to urban services through collaborative efforts. Case studies are drawn from the largest cities in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China (including Hong Kong), Indonesia, and the Philippines. Contributors to the book are scholar-practitioners from Asia as well as Australia, Canada, and the United States.
