About this listen

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 alternative financing 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book definitely helped me to see a different, hopeful and more accessible way to approach housing, both on a personal level as well as within the wider context. Great insight and motivation!

I listened to this mostly in the evening and on drives, and it’s a really easy, thoughtful listen. It breaks down the housing crisis in a way that feels practical rather than overwhelming, and I liked that it focuses on real solutions people are already trying out.

It’s quite calming to listen to as well, one of those audiobooks you can dip in and out of, but still come away with new ideas each time.

Definitely recommend if you’re interested in housing, community, or just want something informative without it feeling heavy.

A hopeful and important listen/read.
