The spatial and social well-being of cities is increasingly dependent on their economic growth. Yet, this growth comes at costs of material depletion and social conflicts. How can cities thrive while decreasing their ecological impact? How does a post growth approach to planning differ from existent approaches to sustainable development? Is a post-growth approach really possible? How do ecological priorities link to social justice goals in post growth planning? What approaches can spatial planners use in order to pursue social well-being, human health and spatial qualities while decreasing the pressure of cities on the environment?
