Federico Savini is an Associate Professor specializing in Environmental Planning and Institutions Politics at the University of Amsterdam. He integrates political sociology and spatial planning to address socio-ecological changes in urbanization. His research primarily examines the relationships between evolving planning regulations and socio-ecological justice, critically analyzing planning paradigms that can achieve social viability within planetary limits. He coordinates an ERC-funded project focused on urbanization, degrowth, and circular economy, engaging with the complexities of socio-material flows in housing, waste, and resources. Savini's expertise encompasses critical urban geography, urban political ecology, financial geography, and land use planning. An active participant in European projects and founder of the Postgrowth Cities Coalition, he aims to explore sustainable and inclusive urban transitions by investigating grassroots innovations. His recent work scrutinizes the political, institutional, and financial dynamics of urban development, while calling attention to the socio-political implications of circular economy discourses in urban governance. Beyond academia, he fosters collaboration among stakeholders to devise cooperative strategies for addressing pressing ecological and social challenges in urban contexts.
