Newspaper on degrowth and the city
The Degrowth Daily is a research project that explores the usefulness of degrowth in the context of urban development, specifically in a situation of urban demographic decline.
Degrowth thinking offers an alternative to the dominant economic growth paradigm, by linking a better quality of life to a reduction in production and consumption. Does degrowth offer a perspective for the (shrinking) city?

As an outcome of the research project Degrowth Daily, a scientific article has been published in the Urban Planning Scientific Journal. The article that was written by myself, Christian Scholl and Joop de Kraker, analyses two cases in the Parkstad Limburg region, exploring the suitability of shrinking cities as a testing ground for urban degrowth practices.

Pionier van kleiner groeien
The Antistad shows the development history of the Netherlands' most aging, most transitional and, according to some, most failed city: Heerlen.
Decades of growth pushed the phenomenon of urban shrinkage to the background and raises the question: how do we grow smaller? How do we built cities smaller? Shrinkage as the accelerator of change.
