Abstract

The notion of achieving a more compact urban form has gained popularity in the debate on the most sustainable urban form, and central to this theme, the last century witnessed an evolution of an urban growth management discourse, as large cities trial different techniques towards achieving more sustainable urban forms. This paper explores the evolution of the urban growth management discourse and the lessons learnt thus far to arrive at what is considered to be current best practices. The objective is to illustrate some of the implications these practices present to developing countries and whether international urban growth management practice can offer meaningful solutions to developing governments and economies.
