Abstract
The chapter is interested in the contemporary strategies of inclusive growth through greening economies by advocating a case for policies, strategies and programmes that promote sustainable urban growth. Such measures should be cognisant that the unbalanced relationship between population growth, poor land husbandry and the environment in the cities of developing countries has been held to account for the widespread loss of liveable habitats, uncontrolled ecological footprints and greenhouse emissions (Sherbinin and Martine 2007; UN-DESA 2013) in many developing countries.
