Urban environments are at a critical juncture, facing challenges such as rapid urbanisation, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these complex issues requires a paradigm shift in how cities and buildings are designed, planned, and managed. Regenerative Urban Design and Architecture offer a transformative approach, focusing on redefining and enhancing urban areas’ natural, social, and economic systems. By integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) with architectural innovation and emphasizing co-design processes, this approach seeks to foster resilience, improve ecosystem services, and create vibrant, inclusive, and thriving communities.
This program aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to this paradigm shift, enabling them to design urban and architectural solutions that mitigate environmental harm, actively regenerate ecosystems, and enhance community well-being. This two-day program provides a comprehensive introduction to regenerative urban design and architecture principles and practices through seminars, case study analyses, and hands-on workshops. Participants will explore innovative design strategies, understand the integration of NBS in urban and architectural contexts, and experience the power of co-design in fostering collaborative and sustainable solutions. The course offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge ideas and collaborate with experts and peers in shaping the cities and buildings of the future.
