  • Summary

  • Collective for leading common spaces beyond growth. #postgrowthplanning - A planning in which growth is neither a necessary starting point nor a goal that must be achieved. One that does work on change, but not on growth. One that works on quality of life, but not with more of the same growth solutions. One in which planners engage and motivate.
