Post-Growth Planning

Summary

A rapidly growing body of empirical evidence shows all too clearly that growth cannot be pursued indefinitely. In this issue the editors and contributors question whether growth itself is the problem and if so, how should the built environment be governed, managed, and produced? And does the answer lie in post-growth planning? The papers here both directly address the implications of a post-growth agenda for planning and suggest an expanded role for planning authorities and planners, as well as exploring broader legal and economic aspects from a post-growth perspective.
