About This Podcast

A podcast series that platforms and celebrates projects that have inspired us along our journey so far. Together these projects form part of a growing movement of local communities transforming land, housing and civic infrastructure to work better for people and the planet. We asked each group, what kind of a future do we want to make together? And, what ingredients would you like to offer up from what you've learned for co-creating a future that we all want to be a part of, that fosters a sense of belonging and centres health, equity and joy?
