ABSTRACT=•	Degrowth can support urban sustainability, especially in Global South or developing nations.
•	Degrowth and technological innovation have had controversial relationships. Some believe they cannot function together, others believe they are supportive.
•	This debate is evaluated and we posit that they are compatible if managed carefully with effective policies in place.
•	We provide three technological cases from Egypt, these cases are mapped to degrowth elements.
•	This is just an initial step in introducing the discourse, degrowth with environmental and social sustainability needs to be included on the map of policy makers. 
•	Policy implications include investment, awareness raising, education, and diffusion of technologies that can support degrowth.
