Planners and urban codes and standards are implementing 'degrowth' strategies without calling it degrowth. NEPA, the National Environmental Policy Act, for example limits new development based on its impact to the environment and other factors. These types of laws have a significant impact on development. California, for example cannot build enough housing for its inhabitants. The state has added three times more people than housing. In other words production has not kept up with demand.

Degrowth, from a planning perspective, is just as problematic as growth. It will cause imbalances in production and consumption. This will have a direct negative impact on people's lives.

The 'sustainable' alternative is to produce just enough to keep up with consumption. This means not to over-produce and over-consume as we currently do under capitalism, nor should we 'degrow'. Rather, we should analyze production and consumption patterns and develop just enough. I would call this model "On-Demand".
