Notable posts on the metro

Welcome. This Blog...

...is mainly about urban development in the Philippines. I deal with urban planning, transportation and infrastructure issues.

My attention does wander to:

lessons from other megacities
the future of cities
the design of democracy
the role of filipino architects
the politics of public transportation

If you're looking for rants, better move on. I'm interested in solutions.

And, oh, if you must know, this is I, me and myself.
