Regenerate Now

The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies and BLOXHUB invite you to a series of events where we embark on an exploration of a regenerative world.

The cities of the future will be larger and more complex, presenting a number of global challenges and opportunities for the 21^st century. Demographic shifts, new needs and expectations, technological development, environmental threats, economic (de)growth and (in)equality and political uncertainty are just some of the major changes taking place. Today, cities represent an emerging global governing power, crucial to addressing and solving some of the world’s most pressing issues. This puts cities on the forefront of a regenerative transformation. By undertaking radical shifts and rethinking our current systems we can transform neighbourhoods, cities, and region, moving toward a regenerative transformation.

To regenerate means not only to do less harm, but to become a positive force that restores, renews, regrows, and revitalises and that gives back more than we take, just like the many ecological systems we can find and experience in nature: from the cells in our bodies, to a forest after fire. Through these events, we will explore how we can create a regenerative world that works within the planetary boundaries and ecological systems to create a future where humankind, nature and our cities can all thrive and flourish.
