Livable Cities in Southeast Asia
This project is in conjunction with the Mega-urban Region (MUR) Dynamics project. Livability indicators are compiled for three major themes - environmental quality, personal well-being, and lifeworlds - and compared for the 1990-2000 period across four Southeast Asia cities: Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, and Manila. Environment covers air, water and land. Personal well-being is concerned with health, education and livelihood issues related to poverty. Lifeworlds is concerned with associational life, culture and the vitality of civil society. Governance is included as a cross-cutting issue.
