Transforming our cities, neighbourhoods, and built places is essential for a thriving future where humans and nature coevolve.
Holcim and Systemiq have explored how to ignite a regenerative revolution in the built environment. This revolution aims for positive, life-enhancing outcomes for both people and nature, going beyond merely doing less harm.
Examples of regenerative built environment projects are emerging worldwide, quietly disrupting the status quo. Government authorities, businesses in the built environment industry, financial institutions, and real estate users are recognizing that better planning, design, construction, utilization, and repurposing of built structures can generate greater environmental, social, and economic benefits. A range of regenerative approaches are showcased throughout this report as an invitation to accelerate the pace and scale of their adoption. For this, we need a stronger, more cohesive movement to overcome barriers and use the power of example to mainstream a regenerative approach.
