🌿Introducing the “𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻” 𝗯𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝟴 – a concept that is reimagining urban spaces for a sustainable future.   By integrating nature-based solutions, innovative infrastructure, and community engagement, the “𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻” concept aims to shape a greener, smarter future for our cities.   “Imagine if the traditional quartet of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were soon joined by a transformative addition – the “𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻”. While this notion might sound like a flight of fancy, it has a solid foundation in the visionary ideas of the past and the pressing realities of the future,” says Claude Touikan, Co Founder & Executive Director at Lead8.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/eM2xqDAE   #FifthSeasonbyLead8 #ConceptDesign #UrbanDesign #Biophilia #BiophilicEnvironments 

Designing regenerative cities is perhaps one of the most impactful, large-scale actions we can take towards building a planet-positive future, BUT — Cities can only be regenerative if they include each of these 10 design principles. These are the essence of regeneration, and are a roadmap for creating a world that prioritizes well-being for all. The brilliant Chante Harris teaches these principles in our Foundations course, and is a North Star in her work at Eunoia. #sustainability #regenerativedesign #climatechange #urbanplanning

🌱"Building sustainable, inclusive and beautiful places for people not only to live – but to thrive" Place-based transformation is a big part of what we do here at EIT Climate-KIC, but what does it look like in reality?
