It was a very successful afternoon, full of energy, reflection and hopeful perspectives for a truly better world.</p><p>Our perspective, presented by our Director Sophie Bloemen, is that we need a postgrowth city and the community economy - an economy that values people, the community and the planet at its core. She presented the Manifesto for a Caring Economy, emphasizing the need for non-extractive business models and a shift from measuring our economy through GDP towards well-being and overalll welfare. </p><p>In Amsterdam, we’re bringing this vision to life. Together with diverse partners, we’ve set up an Incubator for the Community Economy, MeentCoop, supporting initiatives like neighborhood cooperatives, urban agriculture, and food coops. </p><p>👉 Read more on the ten lessons of a Postgrowth City by Michiel van Raaij<br><a href="https://lnkd.in/dNXSNkUR" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lnkd.in/dNXSNkUR</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>👉 Would you like to view the symposium?<br><a href="https://lnkd.in/deVtct9Y" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lnkd.in/deVtct9Y</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://todon.nl/tags/PostGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/SustainableCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SustainableCities</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/UrbanFuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UrbanFuture</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/RegenerativeEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RegenerativeEconomy</span></a></p>
