Five principles for regenerative design in practice
10 February 2022, 15:00 – 16:00 GMT
The opening decades of this century have brought interrelated environmental and social problems into sharp and often stark focus: exceedance of four of the nine planetary boundaries; the climate emergency; an ecological crisis; and glaring social inequalities and injustices. These could paint a bleak picture, yet with these challenges come great creative opportunities for those of us focused on the built environment, who shape the future of our cities and towns and the modes by which we all live.
This webinar will explore the concept of regenerative design as a means to go beyond no net loss, mitigation and โbase caseโ sustainable design and to think creatively about systems-based, integrated design approaches that contribute to regenerative, resilient and equitable futures for all.
Join us as we discuss what regenerative design means, why it is so important and the five principles to follow to get it right in practice.
