Wanting things different. Self-imposed restraint as a path to sustainability in cities?

The debate will be taken by people associated with art, design, and social research, who support the slowdown, both in a personal and urban aspect. Mindfulness, weaving obligations, spending time with one another and closer relations are confronted with with competition, hyperconsumption, modern acceleration, or the global consumption of raw materials. During the debate, we will talk together about what it actually means that the city is developing and how we can detect it. We will also consider what we see as an opportunity to break such thinking about the development of cities, which equates them with economic, demographic, spatial or media growth. We will also consider how the popularizing idea of inverted growth could be manifested in Polish cities, and how it can be made not only an element of policies or strategies, but also of everyday habits and desires, building the sensitivity of residents to the goals and needs of personal development and development. cities would not be associated with stimulating consumption. Finally, we will also consider how to take care of urban justice in this utopia.
