Bioregionalism
Regenerative Design Primer, Draft, published by UK Architects Declare in March 2024, defines bioregionalism as: ‘An approach which proposes that socio-economic systems would be more just and sustainable if they are based on regions defined by biology (for instance by watersheds and bioclimatic characteristics) rather than by abstract political boundaries. Bioregionalism (also referred to as ‘Bioregioning’) proposes that striving to source most of our raw materials within bioregions will also re-establish a greater connection between the buildings we create and the place in which they are located.’
