'This important book demonstrates inspiring, practical innovations... and shows how, together, they can weave an entirely new fabric for society.' Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning 'A treasure-trove of ideas for practical world-changers.' Prof. Rupert Read, author of Why climate breakdown matters and Co-Director of the Moderate Flank 'A powerful step toward achieving the world we need.' Prof. Nathan Schneider, author of Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition that Is Shaping the Next Economy We desperately need a new economic system to help us avert the environmental crisis. This book describes the new system we need, and it shows us how to build it. In Building Tomorrow, Paddy Le Flufy brings together six organisational technologies being developed and implemented by pioneering experts. Each of them fundamentally redesigns a key element of our economic system. Together, they form a holistic vision of a new system – one that can help us avoid the catastrophe looming on the horizon. The book aims directly at creating systemic change by providing people with both a holistic vision of a new economic system and the tools with which to build it. The majority of the writing is about positive real-world examples and potential future developments, which show how people throughout society (such as the readers) can themselves help build the new system. Those that do will be creating a better world. The technologies are the Doughnut development paradigm; the circular economy; the Future Guardian model of governance; regenerative organisational structures; the sovereign money system; and complementary currencies. 'It’s such a relief - and a wonder - to engage with real, deep, granular thinking on exactly how we create systemic change… Essential reading for everyone who needs to know how we move forward.' Manda Scott, author and host of the Accidental Gods podcast

This book focuses on leadership -- what it is, how it works, and how complex, multi-layered and multi-dimensional it is -- and how it will change in the years ahead. If we are to build tomorrow’s leaders today, we need to anticipate what skills, temperaments, and specific competencies will be valuable as we face future needs. If the past is a predictor of the future, the world of tomorrow will be characterized by rapid change, new technology, greater diversity, increased globalization, and the need for lifelong learning. As a political scientist and presidential scholar, Michael Genovese incorporates a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and research on leadership in this book to give students, practitioners, and leadership scholars a welcome and engaging look to the future.

Despite the improved supply and quality of housing in the UK and Europe over the last 60 years, the future of housing remains uncertain. Will the supply of new housing meet demand? Is decent, affordable housing an achievable goal? How far will governments seek to shape the market? How will they respond to demographic pressures in different parts of the country? Will housing wealth become a central issue in wider debates about the future of public services? This book looks at the big questions affecting the future of housing as a key indicator of social and economic well-being in the 21st century. It brings together specially commissioned contributions by leading housing experts who explore a wide range of themes and issues affecting the prospects for the coming 20 years or more. Drawing on the evidence of the past and present they analyse the implications of current trends to consider how markets and governments might respond to the challenges ahead. The book is not a work of prophecy or a manifesto for action. It is designed to stimulate and contribute to informed debate about possible futures and what can be done to influence what happens. Building on the past will be of interest to all those concerned about the future of housing, neighbourhoods and communities over the next 20 years.

Schools and Urban Revitalization collects emerging research in this field, with special interest in new school-neighborhood partnerships that lead today’s most vibrant policy responses to urban blight.
