dc.description.abstractCity-making has been dominated by oligopolies run largely by privileged men under a mechanistic paradigm that is market-driven, exploitative and destructive — to the human and non-human world alike. Given the lingering persistence of this matrix of domination, the aim of my paper is to identify how deliberative, collaborative governance initiatives could empower marginalised groups and advance ecological justice in cities more generally. It will be written as a fictional history of the future. Building on the traditions of narrative foresight and counterstorytelling, it would be narrated as an autoethnography by an activist-academic reflecting back on the successful transition from the year 2055. However, it is grounded in real cases that have: (a) empowered marginalised groups through collaborative governance initiatives, and (b) have the potential to advance ecological justice in cities globally. These will include people’s budgets, microfinance cooperatives and micro-utopias. This will help to illustrate the concepts in ecological justice and collaborative governance discourse that I develop, and highlight what kind of systemic transformation is possible. By canvassing examples across a wide variety of sectors through this novel approach, this story aims to synthesise the symbiotic relationship that might be played by empowering urban democracy in advancing an ecologically just future. I will argue that if these examples were combined and scaled, it would be completely transformative.en_US
