Imagine your project contributing to the well-being, prosperity, and sustainability of not just its own inhabitants, but the inhabitants of the surrounding community, the region and ecosystem in which it is situated.  In this interactive presentation, regenerative development will be discussed through a “living systems” lens so audience members see a new way of considering their own projects and developments.  We will explore a holistic approach to design that emphasizes co-evolution with natural systems such that projects and communities continue to thrive and evolve beyond our own participation in their development.

Learning objectives:

• Participants will learn regenerative design principles and how these lead to holistic systems approaches to designing sustainable buildings and projects within their context of place.
• Participants will learn methodologies for approaching regenerative design projects and practice applying these to their own work.
• Participants will learn how regenerative design projects have succeeded through case studies.
• Participants will learn the concept of “Genuine Wealth,” which goes beyond money, and balances contributions to ecosystem, social, business, and human development.
