The DNA
Sustainability starts with the community
Creabitat connects a community to a place
The community takes care of its basic needs
in a regenerative way
Ecology
Creabitat provides access to food, shelter, water and energy in ways that respect and enhance the cycles of nature. It works to integrate humans with the rest of nature in ways that increase biodiversity and regenerate ecosystems.
Culture
Creabitat strives to build or restore (original) local cultures that support people to strengthen each other, their communities and the planet.
Economy
Creabitat creates economic practices and systems that contribute to resource sharing, mutual support and a strong local economy and network that serve the needs of (including future) local people and ecosystems. Sharing, social entrepreneurship, circular economy and collaborative forms of ownership are central.
Social
Creabitat actively works to build trust, cooperation and openness between people and make them feel empowered, seen, heard, and most importantly, AT HOME.
These 4 focus domains come together in an integrated design
for a resilient community and system.
Financial resources serve only as a medium of exchange
The community shares costs and values. There is no profit motive. In doing so, we think about value exchange in a different way and thus financial resources only serve as a tool for exchange. (inside & outside the community).
In decision-making, nature and future generations have a voice
Decision-making can be taken at different levels. There is always a connection to representation at multiple levels. In decision-making, therefore, nature and future generations also have a voice.
Open community with access for all
and with strong connection to its environment.
Creabitat's site and its community are part of a larger ecosystem,
ecologically as well as socially, culturally, and economically.
Monitoring ensures Creabitat is always evolving
and moving forward
Learning and anticipation is ongoing in Creabitat. Changes in the system (social and physical) are identified as early as possible and addressed where necessary. Lessons learned are shared with shareholders.
