Regenerative Design

UKGBC’s Regenerative Places programme aims to shift built environment practice towards more regenerative, place-based outcomes. Focusing on both retrofit and housing-led regeneration, the emerging Framework considers the pathways, actions and stakeholders needed to realise the long-term potential of regenerative approaches, and support healthier, more fulfilling, and resilient places for all. 

  • How does thinking through the context of “place” support regenerative outcomes?
  • How can communities, local councils and industry work together to realise interconnected benefits across health, wellbeing, economic vitality, and biodiversity?
  • How do we create the enabling conditions that ensure every project fosters long-term, positive outcomes for people, planet, and place.
