How do you build 1.5 million new homes in five years without destroying nature? Housing is unaffordable<\/a> for most people, so the UK government plans to build as many homes as possible, as soon as possible. Assuming this brings house prices down (which isn\u2019t a given<\/a>), how can it be done without harming wildlife and worsening climate change?<\/p>\n

The UK is already one of the most nature-depleted<\/a> countries in the world. According to UK government reports, nature loss drives a loss of benefits to humans, leading to increased risks<\/a> of flooding, food insecurity, disease and pollution. Nature loss already contributes significantly to the declining physical and mental health<\/a> of the UK population, with nature poverty varying markedly between postcodes.<\/p>\n

In my research as an ecologist, I study how urban planning can be nature-centric. Being sensitive to the history of a place when designing housing, asking what other beings already have their homes there and how people can live alongside them, puts humans on par with other species, rather than objectifying them as lifeless \u201cassets\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No longer seeing humans as the centre of everything is a worldview shift<\/a> that\u2019s recognised by organisations such as the UN and the European Environment Agency<\/a> as essential for a sustainable civilisation. It might seem radical, but when existing approaches aren\u2019t working, you need to change tack.<\/p>\n

Even with current environmental regulations, the UK government is failing to meet its own targets for restoring wildlife and providing clean water and air. It remains on track for just nine out of 43 environmental commitments<\/a>. Environmental protection policies and their implementation are failing.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the concept of biodiversity net gain<\/a>. This policy outlines how much habitat needs to be \u201crestored\u201d in exchange for developers destroying nature to build homes. Yet the promised nature restorations rarely happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doubling down on this approach, under new planning-system reforms<\/a> to quickly build new homes, the government is enabling developers to pool promised habitat \u201cunits\u201d and restore them elsewhere.<\/p>\n

But simply destroying nature in one place and rebuilding it elsewhere isn\u2019t the answer. Not least because ecosystems (such as the complex interactions between soil fungi, plants and insects) take decades to mature. Plus, people living in new homes in areas where nature has been cleared will experience fewer health benefits.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”31737″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”img_link_large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Instead of treating nature something as separate from us, like a property we have a right to destroy, we can reassess our relationship to it. Nature as being an intrinsic part of us is a more scientifically accurate<\/a> worldview, as well as essential for protecting it.<\/p>\n

Last year, an international science body<\/a> produced a report ratified by 147 governments, including the UK. The conclusion identified the main causes of global biodiversity loss as the disconnection from and domination over nature, the concentration of power and wealth, plus the prioritisation of short-term, individual and material gains. That report, along with many others<\/a>, states the need for \u201cfundamental system-wide shifts in views, structures and practices\u201d.<\/p>\n

Scaling up eco-homes<\/h2>\n

Many nature-centric housing solutions already exist in Brazil, Italy and the Netherlands. The challenge is how to build them at scale, while adapting them to the nature in a local region. Housing design and surrounding areas can be tailored to help regionally rare animals like otters, certain bats as well as amphibians, insects and plants.<\/p>\n

I recently led a workshop with experts from law, urban planning, architecture, garden design and housing policy, and they agreed that the technical expertise to build such homes already exists. What is missing, they said, is the deeper mindset shift needed to bring about such an ambitious programme of social change.<\/p>\n

The key challenge is to expand our imaginations for how we can live more in harmony with other species and build political courage for such housing. Building these homes may take longer than the government\u2019s five-year target, but anything less will continue to drive the loss of nature on which our health and prosperity depends.<\/p>\n

Research my colleagues and I conducted shows<\/a> that promoting this nature-centric shift in worldviews must become a top priority. It goes beyond just the housing sector and relates to the design of our businesses<\/a>, governance<\/a> and education<\/a> systems.<\/p>\n

Without a change in underlying attitudes, environmental regulations are simply rules that get ignored, hence the poor state of our rivers<\/a> and the loss of our nations plants and wildlife<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We cannot build 1.5 million homes with a casual attitude to trashing nature in the process. The real solutions to the housing crisis go beyond bricks and mortar and rules about where to put them. We need to rebuild our care and responsibility to the natural world, acknowledging nature as something we humans are deeply part of<\/a>, instead of apart from.<\/p>\n

More effective institutions and legal innovations (such as giving rights<\/a> to nature) then follow from that. To solve the housing crisis in ways that are genuinely sustainable requires a shift in mindset as a prerequisite for housing development.<\/p>\n
