ABSTRACT
With their eyes set on a post-growth world, planners and policymakers, people and organisations shall promote: Approaches to dwelling that cease being environmentally destructive and sources of lifelong financial debt for isolated individuals and fragmented communities; Integrated approaches to transport, land use, and patterns of activity in which mobility ceases to be provided by environmentally destructive machines that constrain human beings and predetermine what or whom they need or aspire to reach; Approaches to urban governance that cease to fetishise private property as an inevitable right and are no longer dominated by standardised State bureaucracies; Planning regulations that cease to facilitate land development and ever-increasing land values as the key solutions to urban problems; Urban metabolisms that cease to be ravenous recipients of resources and predatory fabricators of carbon emissions, pollution, and waste; A societal ethic no longer dominated by competitive collaboration and individualism, extractivism and anthropocentrism.
