TOURS

Housing for Degrowth European Train Tour 2018

27 October–4 December 2018

High mortgage debts, homelessness and destructive urbanisation?

As researchers, practitioners and activists, co-editors of Housing for Degrowth: Principles, Models, Challenges and Opportunities Anitra Nelson and François Schneider presented an alternative degrowth narrative of housing at 27 events in 11 countries — France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Spain — at research institutes, universities, collective housing projects and central city venues (from 27 October (Lyon) to 4 December (Munich) 2018).

The book, which has 25 contributors, was released in the Routledge Environmental Humanities series in time for an international launch at the Malmö (Sweden) 6th International Degrowth Conference at the end of August. At this and many other events we were joined by other contributors to the collection and/or local urbanists, architects and sustainability experts. Read more about the tour at François’s blog here.
