Disused vertical space, such as building facades within our cities are a missed opportunity to promote ecological and biological diversity. In response, Modular Habitats is an open-source, modular concept through which design can integrate nature into urban spaces, promoting a culture of coexistence, of one ecosystem.

Furthermore, Modular Habitats can be viewed as one of many products and innovations within the growing field of 'Ecosystem Services', in which Natural Capital is recognised by designers, architects and city planners as a measure of health & growth by nations globally. Rather than using GDP as a singular measure for the socioeconomic "progress" of a country, Modular Habitats suggests placing value in things like biodiversity. Not only would an economy of care, based on natural systems and services, benefit biodiversity health, it would also in turn, boost GDP as a sector providing new jobs, products and services.
