Rebuilding Earth
A revolutionary guide to rethinking our role as planet shapers in the Digital Age.
It is estimated that Earth’s population will expand to an unprecedented nine billion people by 2050. This explosion in population is predicted to place further stress on our environment, deplete our natural resources, and lead to increases in anxiety and depression due to overcrowding.
In this visionary and uplifting book, Teresa Coady offers readers new hope. Rebuilding Earth is her blueprint for designing and building the cities, buildings and homes of tomorrow. Using the 12 Principles of Conscious Construction - the first being “Design for Life, not Machines” - Coady shows how to shift from an outdated Industrial-Age framework to a more humane Digital-Age framework. Meaningful and lasting change, the author tells us, can only come through a deep understanding of what it takes to maintain the healthy ecosystems and chemical processes of Earth, and through designing complementary human communities that are vibrant and resilient. This book will appeal to those in the construction, design, development, policy and finance industries, as well as anyone interested in improving their lives through understanding the connections between the environment and health.
