Bringing together knowledge and practices in urban degrowth
The Postgrowth City Coalition is open to scholars, activists, and practitioners who advance practical and theoretical knowledge on a socially just and ecologically regenerative mode of urbanization. Together, we are building a network of engaged professionals around the topic of degrowth and urbanization.
Anybody can join the coalition, provided that their work deals explicitly with degrowth and urban issues.
Write to us and share your work.
