Home/Communities

Community Living

The way we build, live in and move to and from our homes generates more than 50% of all carbon emissions.

We have a unique opportunity to address the environmental emergency and the climate, loneliness and housing situations with an integrated solution benefiting people and the planet.  

Climate action, social belonging and affordable housing are all in short supply.

The way we build our homes has a significant impact on all three aspects. The design and development of the village will consider sustainable building practices.
