James Craig - 2022 ABS Conference

After the destruction of war, the materialistic approach to rebuilding communities falls short of true development because it does not address the spiritual components that build capacity and unity among the local inhabitants. Imagine an approach that merges Bahá’í principles with urban design and landscape architecture. We present a prototype in the spirit of ‘Adasiyyah using scientific agriculture and networking to regenerate a local economy by following the cycle of action and reflection set forth by the Universal House of Justice.
