| Summary: | This book delves into the dynamic intersection of urbanization and sustainability in the rapidly evolving cities of the Global South and unravels the complexities and nuances surrounding the environmental transition challenges in the region. The primary objective is to offer a comprehensive understanding of how cities in the Global South are struggling with the intricate task of achieving sustainability amidst rapid urbanization with population growth, economic transformations, and environmental uncertainties such as climate change associated with emerging extreme events. By examining case studies, policy frameworks, and innovative solutions, the book sheds light on the unique circumstances shaping the sustainability discourse in these urban landscapes. The book also provides a roadmap to craft-informed policies and strategies to foster sustainable urban development, addressing pressing issues such as resource management, climate resilience, and social equity. As the cities of the Global South navigate the challenges of the twenty-first century, the "urban sustainability" emerges as a timely and indispensable guide to shape resilient, inclusive, and environmentally conscious cities in the Global South. This book is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, urban planners, environmentalists, and citizens at large. |
