Democratic planning allows us to effectively address the multiple crises of our time through cooperative modes of collective coordination. Given the destructive consequences of contemporary capitalism, such a structural alternative to market economies is needed more than ever.This accessible work examines various approaches that theorise, practise and nurture a creative construction towards varieties of democratic planning. Drawing from current socio-economic and ecological movements, it explores what future non-capitalist democratic planning could look like. Bringing together important voices in the ongoing debates from scholars to activists, this volume proposes an interdisciplinary and innovative approach to democratic planning in the 21st century and beyond.

“This is the book that forms the starting point for anyone wishing to engage in contemporary debates on planning in/outside of contemporary capitalism. It brings to life what might be imagined in terms of how we use new technologies to re-engage the question, and actuality, of what a planned alternative to capitalism might look like.” David J. Bailey, University of Birmingham
