MANILA, Philippines—As if the sizzling summer were not enough, rotating brownouts are back in Metro Manila and Luzon, shutting down air-conditioners and electric fans that help people cope with the heat.
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), the country’s biggest power distributor, said all cities and towns in its franchise area were affected by the outages Wednesday as a result of the huge power supply deficit in the Luzon grid.


Diego Maranan suggests:


Link all the equipment in manila's gyms to power-generating
mechanism so that everytime we go on the treadmill or lift weights, we
generate electricity that is stored somewhere and is used to power...
i don't know, a giant parol. street lights. traffic lights. a
mechanical art installation.

Or if not all manila's gyms, then have a stationary bike,
power-generation center.

    The Neo-Urban Plan is an ongoing online project initiated by multimedia artist Mark Salvatus. The project has had a good start in providing an avenue for the expression of ethno aesthetics. The continuation of the project is crucial in maintaining a dialogue about how people experience their place worlds and in eliciting ideas for development. Thanks for share this post.
