It is a time when everything seems to be shifting at once. Where it is all heading remains uncertain. Climate change, geopolitical and social tensions, shortages of space, raw materials, and energy—systems are creaking and groaning all over the world. Yet, in this moment of friction, a new movement is emerging. As old structures reach their limits, a fresh appreciation is growing for what is close at hand: local civic power, integrated regional approaches, ecological balance, renewable resources, and cooperative systems that restore rather than deplete.  IABR 2026: Systems of Support | Building Shared Values invites everyone to explore precisely this movement. To think ahead together, to envision and build a future in which locality regains its direction.
