Description
Surviving Collapse: A Radical Approach to Sustainable Development
Christina Ergas explores alternative models of development that prioritize social and ecological regeneration over monetary gain. Two case studies, an urban ecovillage in the Pacific Northwest and a government-subsidized urban farm in Havana, Cuba, are examined using qualitative and cross-national comparative methods.
The book reveals varied paths toward radical urban sustainability and empowers readers to imagine and possibly build more resilient futures by subordinating economic rationality towards social and ecological efficiency.
