What Is The Future Of Urban Mobility In The Philippines?

A huge part of the population rely on private transportation and this may present a trade-off in the areas of resource utilization, health, and environmental protection.

In a well-designed city, the roads allow for smooth mobility, less traffic, and improved flow of goods and services. Businesses should work with the public sector to improve urban mobility. Furthermore, each locality must present solutions that fit the specific needs of its residents.

In the Philippines, I have observed this form of cooperation between the private sector and the government. For example, there are infrastructure projects being built by innovative businesses or through partnerships between the private and public sectors.
