Towards a Just Urban Transition: Promises and Pitfalls for Asian Cities
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Despite mounting global attention to the need for Just Transition, there is a gap in scholarship that examines the complex implications of these shifts in cities-moreover, a lack of attention to just urban transition in cities of the Global South. Drawing from the literature review and purposive interviews, this article proposes key principles to guide a just urban transition and discusses various themes and examples from the perspective of Asian cities. These include density, 15-minute cities, smart cities, urban greening, and good green jobs.
