Post-Growth PlanningCollective for leading common spaces beyond growth Author: Christian Lamker & Viola Schulze Dieckhoff
Collective for leading common spaces beyond growth. #postgrowthplanning - A planning in which growth is neither a necessary starting point nor a goal that must be achieved. One that does work on change, but not on growth. One that works on quality of life, but not with more of the same growth solutions. One in which planners engage and motivate.

Becoming a Post-Growth Planner #32: Anna Pagani
Wednesday, 22 April, 2026
Episode #32 of “Becoming a post-growth planner: obstacles and challenges to changing roles and practices” with Dr Anna Pagani (King's College London, United Kingdom). In conversation with Dr Christian Lamker (University of Groningen, the Netherlands). "We cannot think of any future if we do not think about housing!". Work with systems thinking and degrowth through housing markets in the United Kingdom. Pondering on housing as a basic need and experiences with housing associations and discussing a moratorium on new housebuilding. Challenging narratives around the housing crisis and the idea that building new means building better. Identifying leverage points for change and intervention in the housing system. Explaining perceptions of power (discursive, instrumental, structural) and organising packages of solutions by knowing about co-benefits and unintended consequences. Explaining the development, tensions, and intended uses of the 'Manifesto for housing in a post-growth world' for spatial planners today and tomorrow. Calling to action because "post-growth planning is a collective activity of mutual learning, and this mutual learning must be informed by a systems approach".
