Inclusion in urban governance of small intermediary cities South

The paper examines seven urban sustainability interventions in small and intermediary cities of the global South, focusing on disaster risk reduction, adaptation, emission reduction, and resource management. Using a framework to analyze actors and drivers, the study finds that the entities leading and financing projects significantly influence the inclusivity of the process and the resulting environmental framing. The analysis includes primary case studies from Nakuru, Kenya, and Udon Thani, Thailand.

• The outcomes regarding inclusion processes and the framing of environmental solutions are explained by the drivers of the intervention and the actors responsible for leading and financing the projects.
• Actors in small and intermediary cities of the global South are utilizing various methods to achieve sustainability transitions across four specific areas: natural resource management, greenhouse gas emission reduction, adaptation building, and disaster risk reduction.
