The Restoration Economy

The Restoration Economy refers to the growing industry focused on repairing, rebuilding, and revitalizing existing structures, neighborhoods, and environmental resources rather than developing new ones. It emphasizes sustainable practices, historic preservation, and community renewal, often creating jobs and boosting local economies. This sector includes activities like renovating old buildings, restoring natural habitats, and upgrading infrastructure to improve efficiency and resilience. By focusing on restoring what already exists, the Restoration Economy promotes environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and economic stability, making it a vital component of modern economic development and urban planning.
