While many have espoused ecological modernisation, increased resource efficiency and green deals as the way to resolve this contradiction, the difficulties in achieving absolute decoupling of economic activity and resource use are becoming increasingly obvious. Federico Savini is a leading light among a group of scholars exploring degrowth ways of thinking and their relationship to planning. His latest contribution in Planning Theory is a significant advance in confronting planning theory and practice with degrowth ideas. date: 2024-08-28 date_type: published publisher: SAGE Publications official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/14730952241278055 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2308528 doi: 10.1177/14730952241278055 lyricists_name: Rydin, Yvonne lyricists_id: YJRYD57 actors_name: Rydin, Yvonne actors_id: YJRYD57 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Planning Theory issn: 1473-0952 citation: Rydin, Yvonne; (2024) A postgrowth response to Savini’s degrowth vision.
