DESCRIPTION:No social revolution can succeed without being at the same ti
 me a consciously spatial revolution. Responding to the criticisms on the
  space-blindness and anti-planning sentiment in the degrowth debates\, t
 he spatial aspect and planning have drawn increasing attention in the mo
 re recent academic degrowth discussions. This paper aims to drive furthe
 r this discussion on the importance of integrating the space and plannin
 g in the degrowth transformation by addressing the issue of spatial scal
 e. More specifically\, I make two arguments: firstly\, an ontological un
 derstanding of scale can underlabour the multi-scalar strategies for deg
 rowth\; secondly\, the ‘spatial’ in scale should be paid more attention 
 in the political striving for degrowth.\n \nAlthough degrowth has starte
 d to discuss scales by drawing on concept of rescaling\, open localism a
 nd multi-scalar strategy\, I argue that degrowth would benefit from more
  explicit and systematic engagement with the question of scale. The pape
 r starts with an ontological journey inquiring ‘what is spatial scale’\,
  particularly by drawing on the critical realist perspective. Based on t
 his\, the paper explains ‘why scale matters’\, through discussing spatia
 l/scalar mechanisms\, cross-scale impacts and scalar strategies that are
  relevant to degrowth. The paper illustrates the importance of scale in 
 pursuing a degrowth future within the field of housing development. The 
 last session briefly suggests ‘how to better integrate the scale issue’ 
 in the pursuit of a degrowth future. This includes taking an explanatory
 \, relational and holistic approach to spatial scales.\n
