The authors argue that degrowth, a planned contraction of overgrown economies, is the most coherent paradigm for suburban renewal. They depart from the anti-suburban sentiment of much environmentalism to show that existing suburbia can be the centre-ground of transition to a new social dispensation based on the principle of enlightened material and energy restraint.Sociology, UrbanHuman geographyUrban SociologyHuman GeographySociology, Urban.Human geography.Urban Sociology.Human Geography.363.7Alexander Samuelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut13119Gleeson Brendanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910350285503321Degrowth in the Suburbs2500330UNINA
