How do we plan urban environments that meet planetary boundaries and the social foundation of life? What is the relation between ecological economics, degrowth, urban development and planning? In this lecture I give an introduction to urban degrowth. The lecture was recorded on 28 of February, in Groningen. Part of the course on ‘critical approaches to global sustainability challenges’.
