In the light of social and environmental unsustainability and
injustice, the continuing attachment to the idea that a
growth-based economy is reconcilable with human prosperity and
ecological limits seems increasingly implausible. Tracing and
dissecting the complexities of social change, "Making
Transformative Geographies" speaks about the development of
visions, alternatives, and strategies for a radical transformation
beyond accumulation and growth. Covering an empirical sample of 24
eco-social organizations, projects, and groupings in the city of
Stuttgart (Germany), the book drills down into the social, spatial,
and strategic dimensions of transformation. It advances a
conceptually and empirically grounded assessment of the
possibilities and limitations of community activism and civic
engagement for shifting transformative geographies towards a
degrowth trajectory.
Post-Growth Geographies examines the spatial relations of diverse
and alternative economies between growth-oriented institutions and
multiple socio-ecological crises. The book brings together
conceptual and empirical contributions from geography and its
neighbouring disciplines and offers different perspectives on the
possibilities, demands and critiques of post-growth transformation.
Through case studies and interviews, the contributions combine
voices from activism, civil society, planning and politics with
current theoretical debates on socio-ecological transformation.
