Regenerative design: urban spaces for people and the planet Regenerative design can restore ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen community resilience. But it cannot focus on environmental factors alone.

Learning lessons from the past about rapid urbanization, ecological and social disruption and widening inequality, it should come as no surprise that holistic, integrated solutions continue to be relevant today.

Ah, just wonderful! Yet another rights-trampling policy. I can't wait to see how they deal with the flurry of lawsuits because 4.5 MILLION people don't have smartphones in the UK - and that's for for many reasons (i.e. protected characteristics). #DigitalID #BrokenGov

What are Rachel Reeves' options on property tax? Reports suggest the government is considering shaking up the property tax system to raise revenue.

A charity is giving people money to stop homelessness - and it says it's working Providing money gives people at risk of losing their home the "dignity of choice", says the charity's boss.

In a surprising turn of events, just giving people money when they need it is highly effective. Who would have thought that!?!

Direct cash transfers are a neglected weapon in the fight for #basicneeds and dignity. We need to start using them more broadly.
