Abstract
Innovations that address urban issues of housing and community development, employment, and business and human development in Asian mega cities are the highlight of this study, focusing on Metro Manila. City innovation includes not only the traditional participants (academe, government, and industry) but also non-government organizations, grassroots and marginalized groups, and mass media that help in the delivery of innovative solutions to city residents. Three innovative Philippine solutions to some of Metro Manila's pressing urban issues were identified and analyzed: Gawad Kalinga; Medical Tourism, and UP-Ayala Technology Park. City innovations cover both social and commercial innovation.
