The Rise of Progressive Cities for Human and Planetary Flourishing

Abstract

Documents new support for progressive policies arising from an emerging middle class impatient with top-down leadership and supportive of new local leadership. Douglass indicates a broad interest in distributive justice, inclusion, conviviality and a flourishing biosphere -- all under a rubric of "human flourishing" and all four features to be sought simultaneously. Cites cases in Seoul, cities in Indonesia; Hong Kong.
