DEGROWTH

The Degrowth Scenarios for a district in Berlin project represents a visionary exploration into alternative urban futures, envisioning a community-oriented, sustainable, and regenerative approach to urban development. Embracing the principles of degrowth, this project challenges conventional notions of growth-centric urban planning, redefining the district's landscape and fostering resilience, well-being, and ecological harmony.

As the project unfolds, it engages in the imaginative creation of scenarios that encapsulate the essence of degrowth—a deliberate, equitable, and mindful reduction of consumption, production, and overall ecological impact. These scenarios delve into transformative changes across various facets of the district, considering urban infrastructure, public spaces, transportation, housing, and community engagement.

The urban landscape undergoes a metamorphosis, transitioning from sprawling, resource-intensive structures to compact, energy-efficient buildings. Green spaces proliferate, weaving through the fabric of the district, providing not only aesthetic beauty but also contributing to biodiversity, improved air quality, and climate resilience. The emphasis on ecological regeneration becomes a defining feature, with permaculture and sustainable agriculture practices integrated into the urban environment.
