From sustainability to regeneration: Rethinking the built environment?
04 Jun 2026, 16:00 – 19:00
This is an event from UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering.
Join us for an in-person seminar, discussing regenerative design as a potential new paradigm for the built environment.
This event brings together speakers from industry and academia for a series of short lectures, followed by a panel discussion and networking.
Focused on the potential shift from sustainability to regeneration, the session will explore what regenerative design means for the built environment, and whether it signals a meaningful change in approach or a reframing of existing ideas.
Covering a range of perspectives, the discussion will explore design thinking, urban contexts, material approaches and applied case studies, opening up space for critical reflection and exchange.
