包容性和可持续的发展需要在人口现实（例如不断变化的人口结构和提高流动性水平）的基础上，对当前的发展轨迹进行重大的社会和环境转变。移民是全球所有地区城市化的主要推动力，新兴技术以及流动和通讯成本下降在一定程度上促进了移民的发展。与移民增加相关的社会转型非常不平衡，但包括经济活动地点的变化、主要城市的增长以及可持续发展轨迹上个人激励和社会约束的变化。然而，关于观察到的人口流动如何挑战和促进可持续转型的经验证据有限。本文通过提供关于个人的行为和实践的新证据来研究移民如何改变地方和社会，这些个人是这种转变的一部分，因为他们同化、趋同或保持与先前人群的独特性。这项研究以南半球快速扩张的城市中的个人为重点，利用加纳阿克拉的新传记生活史调查数据来研究不同类型移民和非移民样本中可持续实践的障碍和推动因素。该研究使用了 1,163 名个人的数据：来自西非次区域的国际移民 (5 5 9)、国内移民 (2 9 9) 和阿克拉的非移民 (3 0 5)。研究结果表明，移民之前建立的可持续发展实践是当前可持续发展实践的预测因素，包括主动回收、保护活动和交通方式的选择，但行为之间存在一些趋同，反映了同化、地方依恋和其他因素。阿克拉的国内移民比国际移民表现出更强的可持续发展实践。个人贫困程度、基础设施发展不良以及对社区生活满意度的看法对所有受访者的可持续发展实践产生负面影响。这些结果表明，贫困和社会排斥对于解决城市环境中的可持续性问题至关重要。政策制定者必须解决城市贫困、累积剥夺和不平等问题，这些问题是城市地区采用可持续发展实践的强大障碍。
Development that is inclusive and sustainable requires significant social and environmental transformations from current trajectories, building on demographic realities such as changing profiles of populations, and increased levels of mobility. Migration is a major driving force of urbanisation in all global regions, partly facilitated through emerging technologies and declining costs of movement and communication. Social transformations associated with increased migration are highly uneven but include shifts in the location of economic activities, major urban growth, and changing individual incentives and social constraints on sustainability trajectories. Yet, there is limited empirical evidence on how observed population movements can both challenge and promote sustainable transformations. This paper examines how migration transforms places and societies, by providing new evidence on the behaviours and practices of individuals who are part of such transformations as they assimilate, converge or remain distinctive to prior populations. Focusing on individuals in rapidly expanding cities in the Global South, this study uses new biographical life-history survey data from Accra, Ghana, to examine the barriers and enablers of sustainability practices among diverse types of migrants and a sample of non-migrants. The study uses data from 1,163 individuals: international migrants from the West African sub-region (5 5 9), internal migrants (2 9 9), and non-migrants (3 0 5) in Accra. The findings show that sustainability practices established before migration are predictors of current sustainability practices, including proactive recycling, conservation activities, and choice of mode of transportation, but that there is some convergence between behaviours, reflecting assimilation, place attachment and other factors. Internal migrants in Accra exhibit stronger sustainability practices than international migrants. Individual levels of poverty, poor infrastructural development, and perceptions about life satisfaction in the neighbourhood negatively affect sustainability practices among all respondents. These results suggest that poverty and social exclusion are critical to addressing sustainability issues in urban contexts. It is important for policy makers to address issues of urban poverty, cumulative deprivation, and inequality as strong barriers to the adoption of sustainability practices in urban areas.
