As the impetus to build post-carbon futures becomes an ever more urgent driver of politics, culture and innovation, Imagining the Just Transition evaluates the design choices we might make in order to invent, redirect, or repair our existing material and digital cultures, infrastructures, and landscapes.
Starting from the acknowledgement that much of the history of design has failed to address sustainability and the climate crisis, this book elaborates new pathways and possibilities for designing a more environmentally and socially just future - any transition to which will have to be materialized and built, coded and created, imagined and enacted.
Through an engagement with histories of sustainable, ecological, anti-racist, feminist, and labor-friendly traditions of design, Imagining the Just Transition posits possible new modes to which the discipline can propel and embody new social and political imaginaries.
