Abstract

This chapter discusses the findings of the study. It is structured in accordance with the six facets (the 6D’s) of the analytical framework set forth in the previous chapter: (1) drives, (2) drivers, (3) description, (4) direction, (5) deterrents, and (6) degree of policy transfer. Much of the discussion is based on the views and opinions of the interviewees. The analysis makes extensive use of direct quotes.

    Many of Manila’s informal settlements are built on waterways. Heavily polluted, these feed into the Manila Bay.
