Regenerative Design for our Cities

Webinar

Friday 11 April 2025
10:00 - 11:00

Free

Join us to learn about the latest regenerative design approaches to buildings and cities that can contribute to a resilient and net-zero future.  
As the climate crisis approaches an irreversible tipping point, the need for solutions that go beyond sustainability and actively restore ecosystems has never been more urgent. 
 
Regenerative design challenges us to create buildings and cities that not only reduces the harm already placed on our planet, but also contribute positively to future generations. This approach aligns with London’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030. 
 
This webinar will explore innovative approaches to regenerative design in buildings and cities that reimagine existing frameworks and suggest new approaches. Our speakers will present holistic contributions that incorporate systems thinking and nature-led solutions, demonstrating how regenerative design can help repair the damage already inflicted on our planet.
