Being a post-growth planner

Science EN ↓ 34 episodes

We interview planners to find answers on the way to become post-growth planners. We aim to dive into the challenge to imagine different spatial futures, and the courage to work for making them happen. How would you describe a (typical) today's planner (as an individual being)? Why is it important to understand what hinders planners to think in a post-growth direction? What inspiration does your work offer for planning practitioners? What would you advise a planner today to take the courage to use post-growth thinking?
