215R_The Doughnut for Urban Development – A Manual (research summary)

Are you interested in translating doughnut economics to urban development? Summary of the manual titled The Doughnut for Urban Development – A Manual from 2023 by Dani Hill-Hansen and Kasper Guldager Jensen, published in The Danish Architectural Press. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Sara Stace in episode 216 talking about the urban development transformation and highlighting the doughnut as possibility. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see what doughnut economics is and how it can be implemented in urban development. This manual establishes a framework that balances human needs with the Earth’s ecological limits. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Doughnut Economics at the heart of urban development can advocate for a balanced approach that meets human needs within ecological limits. Building urban environments that are socially equitable and ecologically regenerative are critically important, and the manual highlights specific strategies to achieve these goals. Collective action and innovative practices are needed to steer urban development towards sustainability and equity. You can find the Manual through this link.
