This book draws on a wide range of conceptual and empirical materials
to identify and examine planning and policy approaches that move
beyond the imperative of perpetual economic growth. It sketches out a
path towards planning theories and practices that can break the
cyclical process of urban expansion, crises, and recovery that
negatively affect ecosystems and human lives. To reduce the dramatic
social and environmental impact of urbanization, this book offers both
a critique of growth-led urban development and a prefiguration of
ecologically regenerative and socially just ways of organizing cities
and regions. It uncovers emerging possibilities for post-growth
planning in the fields of collective housing, mobility, urban
commoning, ecological land-use, urban–rural symbiosis, and
alternative planning worldviews. It provides a toolkit of concepts and
real-life examples for urban scholars, urbanists, activists,
architects, and designers seeking to make cities prosper within
planetary boundaries. This book speaks to both experts and beginners
in post-growth thinking. It concludes with a manifesto and glossary of
key terms for urban scholars, students, and practitioners.
