A lot of people and goods need to move around the country. Food needs to move around. We cannot sustain our population without transport infrastructure and we must transform that to more sustainable models which will involve revitalising the canal system and increasing capacity on rail lines.
These transformations are not in conflict with degrowth, assuming you're not also calling to kill a bunch of people to reduce demand.
We can't change at the flip of a switch and need to create a transitional space which will involve a certain amount of construction. Houses don't get insulated by wishing. Everything we do about climate involves moving materials
