Human Cities Coalition (HCC) and the Malabon City Government signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on June 29 at the Malabon City Hall led by Mayor Antolin Oreta 3rd and Director of HCC Ronald Lenz. This cooperation marks the starting point—by identifying and developing innovative urbanization programs—for improving the lives of locals living in informal settlements.

Together with HCC, Malabon City signals its readiness to work towards addressing issues identified by the community, namely: access to electricity; land and housing tenure; access to clean drinking water; and adequate drainage.
