- Abstract
The eleventh target of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to build sustainable cities and communities. This requires a load of basic facilities and economic investment, which suggests that the implementation of the target will be extremely difficult for the area with poor financial conditions. Meanwhile, one of the patterns of the sustainable community is the 15-min community, which is similar to the ancient Chinese traditional thoughts from Laozi. Therefore, by taking Las Gaviotas of Colombia as a case study and discovering the inspirations from the thoughts of ‘sparse people, small country’ from Laozi, this article focuses on the alternative sustainable development pattern that is more suitable for poor areas to develop sustainable communities, exploring the inspirations and limitations of this pattern. Results show that both the pattern and thoughts have their own limitations but there is still a lot that can be learned in terms of technology and so on.
