Here, she argues that the true purpose of economics does not have to equal growth. Instead, the aim is to find a sweet spot, a way to balance the need to provide everyone with what they need to live a good life, a \u201csocial foundation\u201d while limiting our impact on the environment, \u201cthe environmental ceiling.\u201d With the help of Raworth, Amsterdam has downscaled this approach to the size of a city. The model is now used to inform city-wide strategies and developments in support of this overarching idea: providing a good quality of life for all without putting additional pressure on the planet. Other cities are following this example.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/997291\/how-amsterdam-uses-the-doughnut-economics-model-to-create-a-balanced-strategy-for-both-the-people-and-the-environment\">Read more \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Whale \/ de Architekten Cie..
