This piece introduces five pathways toward regenerative practice in the built environment, and asks where each of these might lead us by 2050. What if our built environment was designed around: → 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 → 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 → 𝐀 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 → 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 And how might we get there? It's apparent that we need an expanded coalition of actors to make progress along these pathways: neither top-down nor bottom-up action can do it alone. In this piece, we propose possible systems demonstrators to compound momentum, activate different sectors, and build the coalitions necessary for a transition to a regenerative built environment. What these shifts look like where you live? Read more in our Provocation: http://bit.ly/41TBbf1

1d“Maximising utilisation” and “shifting comfort” strike me as the most disruptive ideas. What if we measured success not in square metres built, but in square metres truly needed and well used?
