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. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | suburbs; suburbia; degrowth; energy; eco-cities; carbon budgets; peak oil; post-capitalism; crisis; sufficien | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-2131-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-13-4736-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-13-2131-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
