Third party events
The international festival of city making that brings to Rotterdam the ideas, projects and places that are improving life in cities around the world.
Join us for an in-person seminar, discussing regenerative design as a potential new paradigm for the built environment. This event brings together speakers from industry and academia for a series of short lectures, followed by a panel discussion and networking. Focused on the potential shift from sustainability to regeneration, the session will explore what regenerative design means for the built environment, and whether it signals a meaningful change in approach or a reframing of existing ideas. Covering a range of perspectives, the discussion will explore design thinking, urban contexts, material approaches and applied case studies, opening up space for critical reflection and exchange.
Join us for an inspiring and interactive evening exploring why those who shape our cities must recognise the gender imbalance and embrace a timely regenerative approach to create gender sensitive and nature positive places.
Expect a full day of inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, walking tours, and important conversations—all designed for professionals working across the public and private sector who want to make a real impact on towns and cities across the UK. From feminist cities to neurodiversity, you’ll learn from expert academics, researchers, and leading professionals from across the built environment as we explore how to make better decisions and create more resilient places.
Existential threats including the climate crisis, conflict and AI are affecting all parts of the world, transforming the way and where we live, and how our societies function. What can we be doing to save the Earth, its people and environment? LSE Festival 2026: How to save the planet explores the impact of these global challenges, and how individuals, communities, organisations, corporations, and those with political power should be tackling them.
