  24. Philippines: Urbanization • High urban share in population, rising rapidly • At 61 percent, close to Malaysia’s ratio at 65 percent, though its income is less than one third that of Malaysia • Urban population will grow at 2.8 percent per year, rising from 52 million to 88 million by 2030, or by about 1.5 million every year • Cities in the Philippines are showing strains • Manila’s livability is about what can be expected of countries at its per capita, but • Slums comprise a larger share of the Philippines’ urban population than the East Asian average • Sustainable city development requires a tailored approach • Urban development is of three institutional types: comprehensive (China), mixed metropolitan (Vietnam), and fragmented (Philippines) • For the Philippines, the solution lies in greater private sector and community involvement An East Asian Renaissance
