Urban planning and degrowth: a missing dialogue

Abstract: The paper aims at discussing the reciprocity of developing a dialogue between urban planning and degrowth by arguing for two interactive processes: 'spatialising degrowth' and 'degrowing planning'. Degrowth literature has not yet fully recognised the potentiality of urban/urban regional spatial development and planning in facilitating and driving the degrowth transformation for local and regional sustainability and justice. The possibility of urban planning to facilitate a downscaling of the economy, save the … Show more

“…Early articles about the spatial implications of degrowth point out how planning institutions could support a degrowth transition if they were oriented towards sustainable resource use, democracy, or fostering autonomy (Wächter 2013). Xue (2014, 137;2021) discusses how planners can work as degrowth activists and practitioners by focusing on environmental protection and social sustainability. To do that, the body of research on sustainable urban development can be useful, as it helps to understand the relation between spatial mechanisms, social justice, and environmental sustainability.…”

“…To do that, the body of research on sustainable urban development can be useful, as it helps to understand the relation between spatial mechanisms, social justice, and environmental sustainability. At the same time, planners need to be more critical towards current non-sustainable urban development practices (Xue 2014(Xue , 2021. However, so far it has been difficult to find more concrete ways for urban planning practice to enable and foster a degrowth transition (Xue 2021;Xue 2014;Wächter 2013).…”

“…It is, however, quite common to experience planning reforms every now and then, in part motivated by new political orientations or by the revival of political ideologies and orthodoxies [12,13]. In this regard, multifaceted critics of a rising neoliberal and growth-oriented planning paradigm have emerged over the past years and have raised alternative responses in view of more transformative urban planning visions [14]. In a different prism, since the mid-twentieth century, certain city planners were faced with an emerging mass tourism phenomenon, which required novel urban planning approaches to tackle its effects on dwellers as well as on the urban economy [15].…”
