The Italian society of spatial planners will dedicate its annual congress to the topic "DOWNSCALING, RIGHTSIZING - Contrazione demografica e riorganizzazione spaziale [demographic contraction and spatial reorganization]"
Leonard, I am a team member of a research group that is looking at evaluating natural resource responses to future human populations, land use, and climate change. Our spatial extent is the United States. Another member of that research team (Evan Beren Brooks...on ResearchGate) is focused on developing spatially explicit land use change projections (90 m resolution) under different socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Although "degrowth" does not manifest at the scale of the US, it does manifest regionally within the projections. -- Curt
