Human Nature

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.
