Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of international academic collaboration on sustainable development and presents the innovative methodological framework for research collaboration within the DIMSUD project. Focus is laid upon four crosscutting research themes that enabled a comparative assessment of the three case study cities: Gaborone, Santiago de Chile, and Johannesburg. Finally, a discussion of research limitations will be followed by an outlook on forthcoming training needs and the dissemination of research results.
