Schedule 9th International Degrowth Conference

Bottom-up insurgent practices and processes of commoning are highly relevant to degrowth scholarship and activism. However, the ability to join initiatives or movements actively fighting for a socially just future within planetary boundaries is not equally distributed. The configuration of spatial and temporal infrastructures shape how we interact with each other and our (bio-)physical environment and can reproduce or alleviate intersectional inequalities. This article connects literature on the commons, insurgent planning, and feminist time politics to discuss temporal and spatial infrastructures that create fertile soil for invented spaces of care-full commoning in mostly European cities. Inspired by feminist and decolonial research to reclaim disembedded and disembodied cities, we formulate an educated dream about what an ecofeminist degrowth city would look like. We propose tangible steps that enable such a concrete utopia to eventuate and discuss how notions of scaling-out and horizontal transgression enable such transformation.
