[Right of Way] The future of cities: How do you solve a problem like Manila?
Urban and transport planners weigh in on solutions for a metropolis suffering from overdevelopment

MANILA, Philippines – Metro Manila is choking with overdevelopment.

Built on an isthmus, or a narrow strip of land surrounded by Manila Bay and Laguna Lake, the Philippines’ National Capital Region has very little wiggle room. If you’re on an airplane and look down below, you’ll notice that there’s hardly any greenery in the vast concrete sprawl.

Road safety advocate Vince Lazatin talks to Dani Guillen, a transport planner and inclusive mobility advocate, and Patrick Jalasco, an urban planner, to discuss solutions for the metro. – Rappler.com
