How to degrowth the transport sector - and regain liveable cities and regions.

Over the last 16 months, Degrowth Vienna, an austrian collective,
has been working on a book in collaboration with over forty authors
from both academic and activist contexts. It deals with the core
question of how a socio-ecological transformation can be achieved
and will be published in about two months. The book is an essential
contribution to current debates on degrowth and socio-ecological
transformation, in which the question of strategy has often been
neglected. My guest John is PhD Candidate at the Central European
University and Junior Fellow at the Centre for Economic and
Regional Studies.   Together with Thomas Smith and Leon
Leuser, John wrote Chapter 15 about Mobility & Transport. It
tackles questions of degrowth transformation in the mobility sector
and investigates different directions, from technology based
scenarios, to others that question mobility in itself. It also
assesses the extent to which car sharing may represent a satisfying
degrowth strategy, focussing on a Paris based example. brief

dismantled and alternative systems developed based on existing
practices. It is a part of the book Degrowth &

transformation edited by Nathan Barlow, Livia Regen, Noémie
Cadiou, Ekaterina Chertkovskaya, Max Hollweg, Christina Plank,
