Managing the Urban Environment - Manila the Philippines

This volume is the third in a series of books that focus on the practice of Urban Environmental Management (UEM) in developing countries which both face more immediate problems than the developed world and have fewer resources to deal with them. It is the report of a graduate level workshop that took place at the School of Planning College of Design Architecture Art and Planning University of Cincinnati USA from August through December 2015. The objective of the workshop was to prepare students to work overseas in data-poor environments as professional consulting planners. The 15 students worked in sector-level teams preparing a 5-year plan for Metro Manila the Philippines an Asian megacity with serious environmental challenges using a real-world data base and a limited budget.
