The No-Growth Imperative: Creating Sustainable Communities under Ecological Limits to Growth

By Gabor Zovanyi

Book Overview

The No Growth Imperative

provides rationales and strategies for ending inherently unsustainable economic and urban practices within local jurisdictions. It describes the social, political, economic, and physical features of the sustainable communities envisioned for bringing about this shift. The book concludes with an examination of current movements which indicate that prospects for realizing sustainable, no-growth communities are far more likely than might initially be imagined. The book's focus on community options for stopping untenable growth in local settings, via the implementation of a no-growth imperative, offers a new path to sustainability.
