Adaptive reuse of vacant warehouses and factories preserves these symbols of economic energy, while also driving new opportunity and additional development in neighborhoods. In this video, hear from some of The Community Preservation Corporation's customers and partners about the commitment and collaboration it took to transform historic buildings into #multifamily #housing, and see examples of the positive impact these projects have in communities: #communitydevelopment #adaptivereuse

Very nice overview of the potential (environmental) benefits of Community Land Trusts. Watch this video or read the white paper if you are interested! 🏡 #sustainablebuilding #builtenvironment

How can we reimagine our communities to foster not just a sense of belonging but also a commitment to sustainability and affordability in housing? 🏡 European Community Land Trust Network is paving the way for a better, more sustainable future in housing across Europe. By championing collective governance and land ownership, they offer a new blueprint for living spaces. From Brussels to Bridport, CLTs are showcasing innovative circular building design and use, establishing themselves as key players in promoting housing needs while protecting the environment. Discover the impact of CLTs across Europe in the video below and learn more from their latest white paper: https://lnkd.in/dsQYYv2A Laura Parker-Tong #sustainablehousing #circularbuildingscoalition #buildcircular

The European Community Land Trust Network aims to enable and promote Community Land Trusts to leverage their unique structure to become regional drivers in the transition to a circular built environment. 4 characteristics of Community Land Trusts = 4 conditions for circular development. 1️⃣ Permanent owners = long-term stewards of the land As permanent owners and stewards of the land, CLTs take a long-term perspective on decisions related to development and use which naturally results in more circular outcomes. 2️⃣ Collective governance structures In aligning permanent land ownership with collective control and interests, CLTs adopt a commons philosophy: land is owned and stewarded for the common good. 3️⃣ Social foundation created by the collective structures These collective governance structures create a social foundation to enable circular initiatives, like mobility sharing and collective energy solutions. 4️⃣ Organisational capacity and expertise CLT hubs build expertise and connections enabling them to implement circular design and build across different projects in a city. Learn more about CLTs and circularity in our newest research paper 'A social foundation for material impact: Community Land Trusts as drivers of circularity for a just transition', written with And The People as part of the Circular Building Coalition cohort.

At CABN, our individual units work exceptionally well, but there is increased power when our units work together in a network. CABN Communities offer a new way for space making, leveraging building efficiencies while creating their own micro-grid– a perfect option in regions that are hard to reach, have aging infrastructure, or need quick community deployment. https://lnkd.in/gFkgTFi3

"The World Urban Campaign welcomes the progress made in the draft document of the Pact for the Future and feels compelled to draw urgent attention to the critical topics of urbanization, sustainable cities and communities, and adequate housing. These issues are fundamental to achieving the vision set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and must be prioritized in the upcoming Pact for the Future, to be launched at the Summit of the Future in September 2024. This Summit represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to address these vital topics and ensure a sustainable future for all."

"To bring to light those unwanted and silenced non-humans through nature-based planning mechanisms is fundamental to understand their lives, their capabilities, and needs." - chapter 15 of a Research Agenda for Sustainable Cities and Communities. Ecological justice can be integrated into social-ecological-technical systems (SETS) thinking to advance city planning and design. Multispecies capabilities provide an evidence-based baseline for collecting data and designing urban habitats that enable new spaces for all lives to flourish. A governance approach for people and nature requires co-design and co-participatory mechanisms that support interspecies inclusivity.
