“…The three cases also represent different governance systems. Hanoi represents an authoritarian government, albeit one with a liberalising market economy and increasing international investment and knowledge-sharing on climate change issues ( Leducq and Scarwell, 2020 ). Taipei represents a relatively new democracy following the end of Marital Law in 1987, with a vibrant civil society movement and significant enthusiasm at city and national government levels for new forms of participatory democracy (Fan, 2021).…”

“…Such orientation can facilitate market-led greening that may result in widening socio-spatial inequalities. This "green boosterism" also applies to several Asian cities (Leducq and Scarwell, 2020), especially in Asian developed countries, where smart-green cities have been emphasized (Shen and Fitriaty, 2018) regardless of the continuation of urban sprawl, and its adverse socio-ecological impact.…”

“…One of the most pertinent programs that has a strong environmental dimension would be the "Green City Development Program" or Program Pengembangan Kota Hijau (P2KH). This program can be cast as an example of global policy mobility of urban ideas and planning practices in the Global South (Leducq and Scarwell, 2020). In Indonesia, the green city label was translated as a program that was anchored on the specific mandate outlined in Law 26/2007 on Spatial Planning, i.e., the obligation to provide green open space to at least 30% of a (Kirmanto et al, 2014).…”

Urban areas play a key role in reaching global sustainability as they produce a high amount of waste and emissions, consume a lot of resources, and perform as the prime mover of the global economy. Unsustainable urbanization will generate multidimensional impacts on the earth’s socio-ecological system that is nearly impossible to be managed. As a preemptive action, urban sustainability has been considered as one of the most important targets in the Sustainable Development Goals. Within this context, the green city has emerged as a widely adopted concept around the globe. In the Global North, the concept of a green city has been incrementally developed as efforts to mainstream green infrastructure and nature-based solutions approaches in supporting ecosystem services. Quite the contrary, in the Global South cities, due to their rapid and vast urbanization process, the green city has been fragmentally adopted. Previous studies have proposed three factors, i.e., urbanization, biophysics, and governance, underlying the different approaches of green city development between cities in the Global North and South. Still, more studies are needed to explicate these factors and how these will in turn shape a particular green city trajectory in Global South cities. This study aims to respond to these questions based on green city experimentation in Indonesia. An exploratory study was done based on a literature review and participant observation. The results exhibit that the green city program in Indonesia largely focused on the development of green open spaces which has ultimately failed to improve the urban environment and sustainability. Incorporating local socio-ecological aspects coupled with integrated multi-level and multi-actors’ governance is recommended to increase the green city performances.

Theorising Urban Development From the Global South

The problems that engulf Southern cities are huge. There is a tendency towards solutions based on models encountered elsewhere emerging as deeper problems when only the symptoms are treated. Therefore, in this concluding chapter, we propose a model that transforms urban development as a process from within. Our arguments are on two levels. On the first level, we propose a grammarian alternative—primarily since it has the potential to challenge the rational models that are overemphasized in urban-planning practice. We also consider that such a grammarian approach could suit the search for a non-deductive model of multiple centres. On the second level, we propose a communication model whereby this grammarian alternative could be operationalized. We show that an autopoietic reproduction of urban space takes place through interaction between social order and natural order. Space for intervention, towards transformative urbanism, can be found in this communication process. There is a need to direct this autopoietic process by picking up on the codes from societal norms. In Southern urbanism, these codes are the experiences of suffering, violence, in-betweenness, social identity, harmony, and context-specific sociocultural practices. Transformative urbanism depends on the ways in which these codes are leveraged by collectives of citizens in the urban-planning process.
