URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Increasingly crowded urban centers face serious environmental hazards. Manila's airshed is one of the most polluted in the world, surpassed only by Mexico City, Shanghai and New Delhi. Nearly half of Manila's 13 million residents are without clean, safe drinking water. Ground water sources are increasingly contaminated. Forty percent of solid waste remains uncollected, and most of the rest is poorly managed. Together, these problems pose serious health and economic costs.
