Abstract

Number of challenges exists to encouraging sustainability in urbanisation in the developing world. A common approach over the last 30 years, has been to focus on a “growth-first” plan for development, particularly in new urban areas. This entails encouraging the greatest amount of economic growth through country-level and local planning practices. In theory, growth-first development planning leads to a relatively equitable urban society, however in practice due to policy decisions and externalities, this has not been the case. Inclusive urbanisation seeks to address issues in access to urban services and the equitability of the urban socio-economic structure through ensuring that all participants have access to the same level of services and opportunities as each other. Most often this manifests through ensuring that rights for marginalised or previously-excluded groups, such as women and children, migrant workers or refugees, are accounted for in planning policies, and plans that may exclude these groups are modified to accommodate them equally.
