Description

Constructive Voices is an award-winning global platform and media brand dedicated to accelerating positive change in the built environment. We connect the dots between sustainability, biodiversity, design, development, health, policy, innovation and community by creating conversations that break down silos and bring important ideas to wider audiences. Through podcasts, video, editorial content and live forums, we explore topics such as green building, biodiversity, renewable energy, resilience, regenerative development, AI and nature-positive solutions. With the launch of the Constructive Voices Future Places Forum, we are taking this mission further—creating place-based events and media that spotlight the people, projects and partnerships shaping more sustainable cities and regions. Our vision is to work with companies, institutions and individuals across the world to feature the positive work they are doing, positioning Constructive Voices as a leading source of inspiration, insight and practical examples for a better built environment and world. We are passionate about sustainability, biodiversity and innovation, and we bring together global experts, local communities, businesses and emerging voices to help document and drive the historic changes needed in our time. Hosts and presenters to date have included Jackie De Burca, Henry McDonald, Peter Finn, Steve Randall, Emma Nicholson, Sarah Austin, Rhiannon Matthias, Mohammed Hesham Khalil and Ciara O’Brien. Biodiversity course teachers on Learn at Constructive Voices have included Ben Stansfield, Rachel Blount, Paula Wakelin, John Cornell FRGS, Ellen Davies, Claire Wansbury, Jane Findlay FLI PPLI, Dr. Carol Williams, Archie Ruggles-Brise and Dr. Kate Vincent.
