	Laguna Lake, the largest lake in the Philippines, supplies Manila{\textquoteright}s dense urban region with fish and water while operating as a sink for its stormflows and wastes. Transforming the lake to deliver these multiple urban ecological functions, however, has generated resource conflicts and contradictions that unfold unevenly across space.\&nbsp;In\&nbsp;Urban Ecologies on the Edge, Kristian Karlo Saguin tracks the politics of resource flows and unpacks the narratives of Laguna Lake as Manila{\textquoteright}s resource frontier. Provisioning the city and keeping it safe from floods are both frontier-making processes that bring together contested socioecological imaginaries, practices, and relations. Combining fieldwork and historical accounts, Saguin demonstrates how people{\textemdash}powerful and marginalized{\textemdash}interact with the state and the environment to produce the unequal landscapes of urbanization at and beyond the city{\textquoteright}s edge.
