Our Chief Impact Officer Joanna Yarrow will deliver a keynote speech to open the BE-ST Fest Summit at Paisley Town Hall on 6 November. In a session titled 'Be an Activist' she will consider the unique set of superpowers placemaking has in addressing the challenges of the 21st century and the mission to make sustainable and healthy living affordable, attractive and accessible, drawing on her work at Ikea, Beyond Green and here at Human Nature, including on the Phoenix project. Joanna will join a fantastic line-up including Oluwafunmbi Adeagbo, Black Females In Architecture; Emma Fletcher MRICS, Low Carbon Housing Director, Octopus Energy; Louise Rogers, Impact Manager, Built Environment - Smarter Transformation; Bola Ogunmefun, Director, Tisserin Engineers; and Mel E., WikiHouse.

A new generation of remarkable places
About us
Human Nature creates remarkable places where living is affordable and inclusive, people thrive by sharing and communities grow strong. We help shape a healthier and more optimistic social imagination of what it is to live well in the 21st century and how, together, we might get there. The places we create, and associated services, support a step change in the quality of life for all in ways that regenerate nature and point the way to the essential actions needed to stabilise global climate. We hope to empower and support people in our communities to demonstrate how new ways of living and working can overcome barriers and catch on at an extraordinary pace. Human Nature’s first project, the Phoenix neighbourhood in Lewes, East Sussex, fulfils the ambition to create whole places not housing estates. It will innovate in construction and infrastructure for rapid delivery, go beyond zero carbon and cultivate dynamic local economies.

It was wonderful to hear Jeremy Walker head of design at Human Nature in full flight talking about Jan Gehl principles at the https://lnkd.in/e8rwm8Es last night at University of Westminster. Great questions from the room about #renewables #affordability #publicspace and #density. And it is always exciting to hear a client say nice things about working with Ash Sakula Architects. Thanks for inviting us to do the double act William McLean!

Lorens Holm sets out succinctly in a letter to the Guardian today why Labour needs to build new neighbourhoods - not just a lot of isolated houses. Our action plan for the Government sets out how important well designed neighbourhoods are to tackling the housing, climate and social crises we face.
Housing costs are prohibitive, housing supply is restricted and young people, having missed out on the boom years of property (when housing became an investment not just a place to live), are spending far too much of their income on sub-standard homes. Poverty is on the increase, economic productivity has stalled, and private landlords, landowners and volume housebuilders have extracted excessive value from the housing economy. Ours is an industry in crisis and in need of a new vision and a plan. While there is no silver bullet, and the transformational change needed will take time, there are many sensible actions that can set the UK on a clear, exciting and rapid path to better homes for all, while bolstering the creative and circular sustainable economy and generating common wealth. 'Getting Britain on the move' presents 10 such actions – read it in full below.
