abstract: This research is about the role cities can have in the context of post-growth. In the academic literature, there is no study that found a clear post-growth focus of cities. This research aims to shed new light on what cities can do in a post-growth context by examining housing and spatial policies from the city of Almere from a post-growth perspective. A single case study was performed with select housing- and spatial planning policies being the units of analysis. The study assessed theoretical aspects of post-growth in relation to policies. Additionally, the research explained a lack of policy effects with the use of a policy typology. Overall, the study found that while there are post-growth adjacent objectives and actions in the policies, Almere does not have a clear post-growth focus. The study concluded that if cities were to have a role in stimulating post-growth, it needs to be a central objective of policy. In addition, the research concluded that if the policy-making process would be more integral and dynamic, it would lead to more effective policies that could stimulate post-growth. Further research is needed on how post-growth could be made more of a central objective and on how the role of the city in actively stimulating post-growth would look like.
