This book addresses a central dilemma of the urban age: how to make
the vast suburban landscapes that ring the globe safe and
sustainable in the face of planetary ecological crisis. The authors
argue that degrowth, a planned contraction of economic overshoot,
is the only feasible principle for suburban renewal. They depart
from the anti-suburban sentiment of much environmentalism to show
that existing suburbia can be the centre-ground of transition to a
new social dispensation based on the principle of self-limitation.
The book offers a radical new urban imaginary, that of degrowth
suburbia, which can arise Phoenix like from the increasingly
stressed cities of the affluent Global North and guide urbanisation
in a world at risk. This means dispensing with much contemporary
green thinking, including blind faith in electric vehicles and
high-density urbanism, and accepting the inevitability and the
benefits of planned energy descent. A radical but necessary vision
for the times.
