Our Homes - Harrison Gardner
What if the answers to our housing crisis weren’t locked in government policy or developer margins —but already being built, quietly, by communities across the world?
In Our Homes, eco-builder and broadcaster Harrison Gardner explores inspiring, practical responses to the housing crisis—rooted not in a single solution, but in a diversity of approaches. From cooperative housing and land trusts to shared equity models and modular design, this book reveals how a patchwork of community-led ideas is already shaping a more hopeful future.
Part handbook, part call to action, Our Homes is a concise and accessible guide for anyone seeking to reimagine where and how we live. Because solving the housing crisis won’t come from one fix—but from many. And it won’t just be about building houses. It will be about building the kind of future we want to come home to.
