"How do we plan for cities that no longer grow, and do not need to? That's a hard question and the people in this collective volume are the best out there to answer it!"
-Giorgos Kallis, ICREA Professor, ICTA-UAB, Barcelona, Spain
"Transitioning the deeply entrenched economic growth paradigm is increasingly considered to be a central axis in achieving a socially inclusive and environmentally sensible world. Nonetheless, this is easier said than done! The exquisite collection of papers in this book sets out a roadmap by carefully examining and proposing a series of pathways that can nurture such vital change towards a more sustainable post-growth urbanity. A must-read for anyone who cares about our future cities and their environment."
-Erik Swyngedouw, Professor of Human Geography, The University of Manchester, UK
"Post-Growth Planning addresses the urgent question of the equitable distribution of costs and benefits in places where ecological balance replaces growth as the aim of planning. Investigating the policies and politics of dealing with climate change in both wealthy and poor countries, this book is essential reading for planners seeking to achieve a just, environmentally sensitive path."
-Susan Fainstein, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard Graduate School of Design, USA
"What if urban economies were shaped so that widely shared social well-being within ecological limits always took precedence? What strategic concepts would inform urban policies? What regulatory practices would emerge? How would planning systems be designed and practised? This book contains many fine chapters exploring ways of displacing an urban politics dominated by catching a share of global capitalism's unstable movements, and reaching towards a more just and environmentally sustainable world."
-Patsy Healey, Emeritus Professor of Town & Country Planning, Newcastle University, UK
"This is a thought-provoking book, and one of the very first to "translate" post-growth thinking to the field of urban planning....Savini, Ferreira, and von Schönfeld instill in the reader a sense of urgency that is typical of postgrowth thinkers. They sketch the outlines of the massive transition of current planning to become detached from the dominant growth paradigms, but they do not lose the connection with reality."
