Place-Based Systems Change Strategies for Regenerating Nature, Community, and Local Wealth
Matt Biggar, Ph.D., shares how to bring about Place-Based Systems that get to the root of our growing crises by reorienting people’s lives around the places where they live. Shifting from corporate capitalist to place-based systems is necessary if we are to meaningfully address the interrelated crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, widening inequality, systemic racism, and growing social divisions. Matt provides examples of strategies that shift power, transform land use, reset culture, and leverage other systems to change systems at regional, county, city, and community levels and make the regeneration of community, nature, and local wealth possible.
Matt is the Founder of Connected to Place, a consulting firm that supports place-based collaboratives.
