Abstract
Drawing on the Ecopolis model proposed by Downton P.F. (2009), the article argues that the creation of 'urban fractals' has the potential to stimulate cultural change and promote practices that encourage the development of more sustainable cities in Southeast Asia. In this context, the article illustrates the case of the renovation of the Phnom Penh railway station as a driver of activity in the area of the emerging Central Business District of Phnom Penh (the capital of Cambodia), located close to the historic center. Although small in scale, this initial intervention can be seen as the first step in a larger project that would provide the city with the vital green infrastructure needed to support the recent transformations, taking into account not only public interests but also the various private stakeholders.
