'Degrowth', a type of 'postgrowth', is becoming a strong political,
practical and cultural movement for downscaling and transforming
societies beyond capitalist growth and non-capitalist productivism
to achieve global sustainability and satisfy everyone's basic
needs. This groundbreaking collection on housing for degrowth
addresses key challenges of unaffordable, unsustainable and
anti-social housing today, including going beyond struggles for a
'right to the city' to a 'right to metabolism', advocating
refurbishment versus demolition, and revealing controversies within
the degrowth movement on urbanisation, decentralisation and open
localism. International case studies show how housing for degrowth
is based on sufficiency and conviviality, living a 'one planet
lifestyle' with a common ecological footprint. This book explores
environmental, cultural and economic housing and planning issues
from interdisciplinary perspectives such as urbanism, ecological
economics, environmental justice, housing studies and policy,
planning studies and policy, sustainability studies, political
ecology, social change and degrowth. It will appeal to students and
scholars across a wide range of disciplines.
