Getting food, water, and services to the millions who live in the
world's few dozen megacities is one of the twenty-first century's
most formidable challenges. This innovative history traces nearly a
century in the life of the megacity of Manila to show how it grew
and what sustained it. Focusing on the city's key commodities-rice,
produce, fish, fowl, meat, milk, flour, coffee-Daniel F. Doeppers
explores their complex interconnections, the changing ecology of
the surrounding region, and the social fabric that weaves together
farmers, merchants, transporters, storekeepers, and door-to-door
vendors.
