Summary: as engines of growth are unsustainable in a sustainable world. The India team explores RUrbanism as a replicable alternative for Panjim, the tropical coastal capital of Goa. Located between the coast and a global biodiversity hotspot, Panjim demonstrates the potential for an indigenously-led sustainability transition using renewable energy, water and energy conservation, and regional food production. This is enabled by a strong local culture of sufficiency, decentralized governance and ‘Factor 4’ technologies. Regional economic opportunities in bio-technology, ICT and eco-tourism are significant. But the acceleration of the traditional Goan pace of life accompanied by development of mining, polluting industry and changing climate are a threat to Goa’s syncretic culture, livelihoods, world famous beaches and potable ground water.

as engines of growth are unsustainable in a sustainable world. The India
team explores RUrbanism as a replicable alternative for Panjim, the tropical coastal
capital of Goa. Located between the coast and a global biodiversity hotspot, Panjim
demonstrates the potential for an indigenously-led sustainability transition using
renewable energy, water and energy conservation, and regional food production. This
is enabled by a strong local culture of sufficiency, decentralized governance and ‘Factor
4’ technologies.
Regional economic opportunities in bio-technology, ICT and eco-tourism are
significant. But the acceleration of the traditional Goan pace of life accompanied by
development of mining, polluting industry and changing climate are a threat to Goa’s
syncretic culture, livelihoods, world famous beaches and potable ground water.
