Seminar: Planning for Regeneration: Rethinking Planetary Well-Being and Justice

The lecture examines how planetary well-being can be integrated into regenerative planning practices, not only as a technical challenge but as a fundamental rethinking of social justice, where the needs of ecosystems and human communities are interwoven. Emphasizing a strongly practice-based approach, the session challenges conventional planning approaches, advocating for more-than-human imaginaries and strategies that acknowledge the interconnected and large-scale impacts of sustainability.
