Yes. More fundamentally than housing, this is about demographics. Human population will peak soon and then decline. Wether degrowth is embraced or forced upon actors who whine about it is the main question. Its increasingly looking like that latter, which I personally refer to as angry degrowth
I think it's probably better to think of it more as top down (club of rome, malthusians, austerity measures) vs bottom up (kohei saito, eco-socialists, shorter work weeks) degrowth.
Its fundamentally not possible to replace NEW cement production with recycled cement without degrowth. The nice thing about degrowth -- and lets be very serious here: degrwoth IS happening in China, and many other demographically unbalanced socitieties wether you like it or not -- is that it enables a completely circular economy whereby most minerals and even things like cement can be 100% sourced from the existing materials with no need for additional raw inputs. That's what this paper is fundamentally about.
