How do we design cities and buildings that metabolise, use living materials and are net positive - that give back more to the planet than they take? Our cities and buildings are a drain on the planet, requiring huge amounts of resources and tracts of land to support their needs, and destroying biodiversity in the process. The idea of living, regenerative buildings is gaining ground - buildings that give back more than they take, providing habitats, ecosystems services (e.g. clean water, clean air), locally-grown food, and putting humans back in touch with the natural world. The climate and biodiversity crisis has driven organisations to set ambitious net zero carbon and ESG targets: however, many are struggling to see how to achieve them and often doing the same thing, but expecting a different result. This book sets out the regenerative building agenda and design principles, showing how buildings, towns and cities could start to have a positive impact on our planet, providing ecosystems services and living within the means afforded by the site.

This is a book about radical change. It is the story of how a traditional church launched a non-traditional service in order to open its doors to unchurched people. This book has grown out of five years of ministry to hurting people who are either skeptics, agnostics, or doubters of the Christian faith. It has been shaped by people who do not give much of a rip about God or the Bible, but they are at least willing to listen. It is a book about what I have learned from these fellow travelers in the adventure of life.

'De vrouw die nooit schiet, de vrouw die vond dat ze beter moest leren schieten, ja die vrouw, die schoot woensdag. Zomaar. Een laag schot van Jackie Groenen, van even buiten het strafschopgebied, diagonaal, bracht Nederland woensdag in de finale van het WK voor vrouwen'. Met deze alinea beschreef Willem Vissers in de Volkskrant de entree van de vrouwenploeg in de finale van het WK tegen de Verenigde Staten. De finale, ongelooflijk. De term droom viel. Meisjes dromen zeker zoveel als jongens, ook over voetbal. Hoe vaak Lieke Martens, Jackie Groenen, Vivianne Miedema en al die anderen niet vertelden over hun dromen als kind, toen ze mijmerden over een leven als voetbalprof. Maar voetbalprofs ...
