Focusing on the challenges faced by rapidly growing cities in the developing world, the book highlights the role of community-based organizations (CBOs) in implementing self-help and participatory programs. Through the lens of CBO experiences in Manila, it explores how external conditions, including local political economies and global economic contexts, shape collective action within communities. The work emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics to effectively address urban issues in developing regions.
