The existing literature is replete with examples of how sustainable urbanism unfolds in cities in the developed world. However, there is limited insight into how this concept is exemplified in the developing world. This paper poses the question, what strategies are appropriate for transitioning developing world cities towards greater sustainability. Drawing on insights from Curitiba and Accra, we argue that cities should not simply reproduce technical sustainability solutions successfully introduced elsewhere, but they should leverage indigenous potential to chart a sustainability path that is sensitive to conditions in the local context.
现有文献中充斥着可持续城市化在发达国家城市中如何展现的例子。然而，对于这一概念在发展中国家是如何体现的，人们的了解有限。本文提出一个问题，即哪些策略适合促使发展中国家城市向更高的可持续性转变。借鉴库里蒂巴和阿克拉的经验，我们认为城市不应简单复制在其他地方成功引入的技术可持续性解决方案，而应利用本土潜力来规划一条对当地情况敏感的可持续发展道路。
