Synopsis

As cities grow and demands increase, continuing to build is unavoidable. Continuing to build in the same way, however, is not. This book challenges the dangerous trajectory of extractive, growth-centred practices within of the built environment industry and calls for a fundamental rethinking of how and why we build, and who ultimately benefits. It shows how the built environment can be reshaped to generate lasting ecological, social and cultural value. Drawing on robust practical evidence and real-world examples, this book demonstrates that regenerative built environments are not only possible, but necessary. It offers a holistic framework for accelerating this transition and invites the industry to step up its responsibility in delivering a future that is healthy, resilient and thriving.
