Futurebuild 2026

As the debate about Net Zero policy rages, leading thinkers and practitioners are exploring how to move beyond these constraints into a regenerative future of buildings and places that use natural materials and are net positive – giving back more to the planet than they take.
This session will examine a regenerative approach, based on theory – from the Regenerative by Design handbook - and practice – based on leading-edge examples at both the individual building and neighbourhood scales.

Jon Bootland, Director, Sustainable Development Foundation
