Make Manila Liveable is a collaboration of journalists and communities to improve quality of life in Philippine cities, one city at a time.
We’re working with these partners to tell stories about liveability, and help make sure community concerns reach powerful ears: Make Manila Liveable is a combination of journalism pieces, crowdsourcing on liveability and quality of life, on-ground and virtual events to amplify stories and raise awareness, and meetings with government officials and experts.
We’re looking at 2025, when we elect a new set of local and national officials. We’re starting with Metro Manila, the capital region bogged down by traffic, pollution, and a patchwork of confusing urban policies. If this initiative is successful, we hope to see this replicated in other cities.Make Manila Liveable is a collaboration of journalists and communities to improve quality of life in Philippine cities, one city at a time.
