Abstract

At a time when the cracks are showing in the West's economic development (air pollution, climate change, etc.), the developing countries are pursuing the same model which has created social and ecological instability. Be that as it may, economic development, viewed as an increase in use value, is not necessarily at odds with ecological sustainability. Only when economic development is a replica of the Northern model is there a conflict with sustainability in which rich and poor alike suffer the consequences. With these considerations in mind the contemporary conditions and transport policies of Mumbai and Melbourne are compared. Keywords Development, globalisation, Melbourne, Mumbai, progress, roads, sustainability
