The previous chapters have suggested that some form of collapse is more than likely. Chapter 11 provides some suggestions for ways to approach the likelihood of collapse and to reduce its effects. The chapter starts optimistically by showing that it would be quite affordable to avoid collapse due to climate change if society wished to do that. Stopping the worst effects of climate change is revealed to be not an economic problem, it is a political one. The focus then turns to the built environment at a decreasing scale—first cities, then neighbourhoods and finally individual plots of land and the buildings on them. The role of the designer is considered and how it might need to change in the future. We have some understandings as to what caused the collapse of civilisations in the past. Eventually, human ingenuity could no longer solve the problems in front of it in a way that produced a marginal return. This book has tried to show that the situation we face in the future is similar to situations faced in the past. Collapsing gracefully is no more than dealing with problems we know how to solve.
