Reporting from ongoing research and planning with low-income residents in Nairobi, Lagos and Johannesburg, this field note discusses infrastructure-led sustainability transitions that are in progress, probable and possible from the perspective of Africa’s politically marginalized urban majority. Its authors probe to what extent efforts to advance more sustainable urban futures in African cities can foster climate justice – not only in terms of resource distribution and infrastructural access but also in terms of political rights, recognition and participation in decision-making about what those futures should or could be. They suggest different ways by which engaging with the infrastructural lives of politically marginalized urban subjects and collectives may allow reframing of dominant, donor-driven sustainability agendas.

非洲城市大多数人如何重新制定可持续发展议程？

本实地报告根据内罗毕、拉各斯和约翰内斯堡低收入居民正在进行的研究和规划进行报告，讨论了从非洲政治边缘化城市多数人的角度来看，基础设施主导的可持续转型正在进行中、可能发生和可能发生的情况。其作者探讨了非洲城市推进更可持续的城市未来的努力在多大程度上可以促进气候正义——不仅在资源分配和基础设施准入方面，而且在政治权利、认可和参与有关这些未来的决策方面应该或可能是。他们提出了不同的方式，通过这些方式参与政治边缘化城市主体和集体的基础设施生活，可以重新制定主导的、捐助者驱动的可持续发展议程。
