We are delighted to announce that following the Do-Track at the ISOCARP Congress in New Clark City last September, we will be holding a follow-up workshop on Friday 21 February. As a valued member or friend of the ISOCARP urban planning & design community, we would like to extend a warm invitation for you to save the date and join us for this exciting event.

The goal is to explore a new language and planning principles for new town projects around the world, based on a new set of values.  

The workshop aims to refine and test our co-designed methodology and to develop a sophisticated process towards a Manifesto for New Regenerative Cities. Foster collaborative learning and innovative approaches to placemaking and urban development is key to our shared mission. During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to engage with fellow practitioners, researchers, and experts in the field, sharing your experiences and exploring alternative strategies to create vibrant, regenerative, and inclusive new cities through place-making.
