Lecture

Regenerative Design: Exploring policy and place

An interactive session to explore potential of regenerative design in the built environment across policy, business and society.

Event date and time: 7 May 2025 — 16:30 TO 19:30 BST

Event location: In person — Chatham House

Regenerative design is an approach to creating built environments that actively restore our environment and communities. There is a growing number of examples that can provide a practical starting point to explore how to kick-start regenerative approaches across policy, business and society.

Over the course of nine months, the Sustainability Accelerator has worked in partnership with Constructivist to incubate a Regenerative Design Policy Lab, exploring policy pathways to integrate regenerative thinking within the context of the built environment. As the Lab comes to a close, this dynamic gathering showcases real-world projects from across the built environment, shares inspiring regenerative thinking, and equips participants with practical ways to explore it in their own work.

  • Where is there compelling evidence of commitment and viable projects within regenerative design?
  • What are the challenges and breakthroughs in regenerative design?
  • How can you practically explore regenerative design in your work?
