Collana: AA - 2004 Mexico City - Reducing The Impact of Vehicles on Air and Environment Quality in Cities
Note:
Overview:
- 12-year ‘gestation’ of Philippine Clean Air Act (filed in 1988 enacted 1999) – one of the most stringent clean air laws in Asia (Euro/EPA standards, complete phase-out of leaded gasoline, desulphurization of diesel, ban on direct incineration)
- Underfunded (unfunded) Mandate; Environment Management Bureau no real capacity to implement law; ADB assistance (MMAQIF)
- Metro Manila – 14 million people, 3.5 million vehicles (source of 75 percent of air pollution), one of the five most polluted mega-cities in the world, 200k plus two-stroke tricycles/motorcycles in secondary roads
- Cultural/Political ‘hardware’’/ Widespread Poverty, Wealth Disparities/ Institutional Weaknesses hamper implementation – ‘Demo-Crazy’, traffic as metaphor.
