Design for Life Developing Infrastructure
At a system-wide level, Design for Life aims to develop and influence the supporting conditions that people, communities and organisations need to drive regenerative change in the long term.
How are we achieving this?
Social connections
Our social connections work will oversee a step-change in encouraging approaches and practices that value and commit to stewarding social capital.
Knowledge commons
Sharing the best regenerative ideas, research and practice through open-source platforms, and engaging communities of changemakers to contribute, remix and share knowledge for the common good.
