This episode explores the concept of nature-positive design — a shift from minimising harm to actively regenerating ecosystems. From its historical roots to leading global examples, we examine how buildings and communities can give back more than they take. It’s not just about greener buildings but better outcomes for people, places and the planet.

Why it’s important
Nature-positive design improves health, reduces emissions and creates long-term value. When developments prioritise biodiversity, climate resilience and community wellbeing, they become part of the solution, not the problem.

Why it’s important
Values guide what gets built and why. When purpose leads development, the result is healthier communities, stronger outcomes and projects that create lasting benefit.
