Steady State Economics, Steve Purdey

Where: Rod C

hen: March 23, 2pm

Description:

All participants in the world econom

y are lined up behind a single policy priority, nam

ely, the pursuit of economic grow

th. Th

e growth m

odel has served national and international interests very w

ell for more than 200 years, but econom

ic expansion is now

problematic. Planetary constraints are being

encountered and, by consuming m

assive quantities of fossil fuel, econom

ic growth drives clim

ate change. A new m

odel – the steady-state econom

y (SSE) – is proposed to resolve these problem

s. Transitioning from one m

odel to the other presents form

idable socio-economic and political challenges. Th

is sem

inar will introduce the concept of the steady-state w

orld econom

y and shed some light on transitional issues.

Description:

In the last 50 years, a concern for systems in general as articulated

from the top dow

n has evolved into thinking of systems from

the bottom

up. Systems for long conceived is as static structures w

ith a w

ell defined dynamics are now

largely seen as being far from

equilibrium, chaotically dynam

ic and not longer explicable in terms

of classical physical and socio-economic theory. In this talk, I w

ill explain how

these ideas are beginning to permeate out thinking about

cities, illustrating the path to complexity theory in term

s of how

cities emerge from

the bottom up. I w

ill illustrate these ideas using a variety of exam

ples, from fractal patterns, from

ideas about size and scaling, in term

s of new sorts of m

odels based on automata and

agents, pulling this all together in suggesting how this new

thinking is beginning to change the w

ay we think about urban futures and

ways w

e might design and invent them

in more appropriate w

ays than in the past.
