DESCRIPTION:In the post-growth debates\, there is a growing number of arg
 uments around what degrowth a state can provide. While the issue of scal
 e sometimes is discouraging for larger states to consider post-growth as
  an alternative\, the same cannot be applied to cities which are in prin
 ciple closer to principles of conviviality\, self-provisioning or decent
 ralisation. At the same time\, most recently we were able to observe tha
 t cities were much faster in declaring climate emergency\, engaging in v
 arious re-municipalisation measures\, local deliberations etc. In this d
 ebate\, we want to explore if cities already do develop post-growth scen
 arios for their future and how they translate these ideas into policies 
 and actions at the local level. We will focus both on transformative pra
 ctices but also on opportunities through which cities can untie themselv
 es from the obsessive growth-orientation that supposedly defines their f
 inancial planning and stability and accordingly public services they are
  expected to provide. Also\, as long as cities stay the playground of hy
 perconsumption\, any other transformative policies will hardly be suffic
 ient for a real overall needed transformation.
