TRANSCRIPT
Urban Competitiveness (Art Corpuz)•
World population is increasingly becoming urban.•
Urban regions account for increasing amount of economic activities and values; these •regions are clearly establishing themselves as drivers of economic growth.
China has a significant share of the world’s most productive urban regions; the largest is HK-•Shenzen-Guangzhou region in the PRD, which accounts for 120 million people.
Philippine urban regions, in their own smaller scale setting, are following the same trend. •(Note: This comprises the bulk of the presentation; it will include maps and illustrations of urban trends focused on the region of Metro Manila.)
Instead of being subjected to anti-urban bias, this trend needs to be recognized as an •opportunity to enhance much needed economic growth in the Philippines, and consequently, supported by specific policies and projects.
In addition to fostering growth, these policies and projects should also address •environmental and other sustainability concerns.
Sustainability (Bebet Gozun)•
Note: A possible segue way to the next topic is to mention that a large part of sustainability concerns is best addressed at the local level and therefore, local governance and administration is critical.
3 Local Governance and Implementation (Mayor Tinga)
World Urbanization
World population is increasingly •becoming urban.
Urban regions account for •increasing amount of economic activities and values; these regions are clearly establishing themselves as drivers of economic growth.
China Urbanization
China has a significant share of the world’s most •productive urban regions; the largest is HK-Shenzen-Guangzhou region in the PRD, which accounts for 120 million people.

Mega Manila
Philippines is following a •similar trend of emerging urban regions.
Largest: Mega Manila region with •Metro Manila as core.
20% of land area•40% of population•60% of GDP•
Mega Manila:
Key component of NUDHF.•
Anchors the basic strategy of •enhancing Urban Competitiveness-- to enhance the country’s ability to compete in the global market.
Given limited resources, focus •investments on Mega Manila where opportunities to enhance productivity and to reduce the cost of doing business are greatest.

Two simultaneous •movements:
Mega Manila Region
Local: –- Metro Manila dispersion
Regional (Mega Manila) –concentration towards Metro Manila
- Provincial concentration
Overall, population of Metro •Manila moving towards the periphery, while population of peripheral provinces moving towards Metro Manila.
Three final points:
1 Mega Manila region allows unprecedented
Economies of agglomeration: –production efficiency, service delivery, innovation.
Economies of scale: 26.4M –market
Mega Manila Region
2 Growth of Mega Manila leads
to unprecedented high density sprawl: environmental and sustainability challenges.
