Summary and research futures for housing for degrowth

This chapter concludes Housing for Degrowth: Principles, Models, Challenges and Opportunities, showing how each contributor offered various windows into realities of degrowth resistance and experimentation, as well as imagined and real transformations breaking through the dominant narrative and practice of mainstream housing for growth. Although many themes intertwine across housing, we sought to categorise book chapters in seven parts: simple living for all; housing justice; housing sufficiency; reducing demand (i.e. market demand versus need); ecological housing and planning; a debate, ‘whither urbanisation?'; and, anti-capitalist values and relations. Many contributors show potent connections between degrowth and other similar movements, underlining existing collaborations and pointing to future alliances. This summary chapter integrates ideas for future research rising from each chapter and the entire collection. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, Anitra Nelson and François Schneider.
