Transfer of Strategies and Solutions in Sustainable Development of Urban Regions

The second volume of SURE Solutions brings together applied strategies in sustainable urban development which are shaped by local conditions, diverse stakeholders, and evolving reflexive practices. From high-resolution UAV1 mapping in Phnom Penh to participatory heritage preservation in Chanthaboon and flood risk collaboration across provinces in Vietnam, the contributions underscore the nuanced, often non-linear nature of knowledge transferred into practice. Instead of promoting one-size-fits-all models, these articles reflect on a spectrum of context-sensitive approaches—technological, cultural, ecological, and social. Transfer happens here, not as a straightforward application of solutions, but as a process of careful translation, re-alignment, and co-production. This volume invites readers to engage with the ethics, challenges, and opportunities inherent in knowledge transfer, while highlighting the importance of local ownership, mutual learning, and adaptive governance. SURE Solutions continues to serve as a curated space for cross-project synthesis, intercultural dialogue, and the advancement of local sustainability transitions.
