Studies about Communities and Degrowth

Hi people,

for the documentation I am looking around for some studies around communites and degrowth.

I found one on the Kommiune Niederkaufungen close to Witzenhausen, which exists since 1983, comparing

ressource usage with some ecological orientated families of the same small town.

Unfortunately it is just available in German, you find it in the annex.

Here is another link for english readers, also touching some basic topics of community and degrowth.

Have a nice summer day
