“We cannot shape a new future by using the same shape that created everything that’s wrong.”

Safe Shores is a journey through the architecture of our everyday struggles – a call to see beyond isolated problems and recognise the deeper design that fragments lives and communities.

Drawing on lived experience, research, and practical frameworks, Adam Tugwell invites readers to imagine and build a society where dignity, locality, and fairness are the foundation, not the afterthought.

This paper introduces the story behind LEGS – the Local Economy & Governance System – and the Basic Living Standard, that offer a practical blueprint for change.

It’s not just a critique of what’s broken, but a guide to building a world that works for everyone, starting with people first.

If you’re ready to move from ideas to action, Safe Shores will show you how to choose a future worth living in.
