A regenerative built environment in Melbourne: emerging practice & potential
Event description
How do we design systems and places with life at the centre of everything?
Across Melbourne practitioners and organisations are working to advance regenerative practice and its potential. We believe coming together to learn and connect will take us further and deeper, together.
This event is for those interested in finding out more about what regenerative design can mean and connect with others in this space.
The conversation, led by Johanna Trickett, Dominique Hes and Regen Melbourne will be exploring: what makes a regenerative built environment?
We’ll explore planetary boundaries, the conditions for thriving across systems and what this means for Melbourne - and then create space for connection and conversation between the landscape of practitioners.
The event is an opportunity to hear about work in regenerative practice and an opportunity to connect with other practitioners working in placemaking - whether that’s in the built environment, community development or policy settings.
The event has been set up by an emerging group of built environment professionals interested in growing a network of peers to enable and support regeneration in Melbourne - convened by Regen Melbourne.
