"Utopian thought and experimental approaches to societal organization have been rare
in the last decades of planning and politics. Instead, there is a widespread belief
in ecological modernization, that sustainable societies can be created within the
frame of the current global capitalist world order by taking small steps such as eco-labeling,
urban densification, and recycling. However, in the context of the current crisis
in which resource depletion, climate change, uneven development, and economic instability
are seen as interlinked, this belief is increasingly being questioned and alternative
developmental paths sought. This collection demonstrates how utopian thought can be
used in a contemporary context, as critique and in exploring desired futures. The
book includes theoretical perspectives on changing global socio-environmental relationships
and political struggles for alternative development paths, and analyzes micro-level
practices in co-housing, alternative energy provision, use of green space, transportation,
co-production of urban space, peer-to-peer production and consumption, and alternative
economies. It contributes research perspectives on contemporary green utopian practices
and strategies, combining theoretical and empirical analyses to spark discussions
of possible futures"
