The Inter_American Development Bank lunched in 2011 a platform named: "Emerging and Sustainable Cities Platform" to help growing intermediate cities make more informed planning decisions and take immediate actions towards smart and sustainable urban development. Main focus is on cities with populations of 100,000 to 2 million, with economies that are growing rapidly. The platform piloted the sustainable urban development approach in five cities: Trujillo in Peru; Port-of-Spain in Trinidad and Tobago; Santa Ana in El Salvador; Montevideo in Uruguay, and Goiania in Brazil.
