WILDLY AMBITIOUS PROJECTS FOR A
THRIVING MELBOURNE
We believe it’s time for radically ambitious, collaborative projects; earth-shots for the regeneration of our city
Regenerating our waterways as the life-force of our city.
Building trust and agency for collective decision making in urgent times.
Transforming neighbourhoods into thriving communities.
What we need to know now to shape the future city that we want.
Creating a circular and regenerative food system for Greater Melbourne.
These wildly ambitious projects are just the beginning.
These projects are interconnected, collective and systemic pathways to a regenerative Melbourne
THE BIGGER PICTURE
At this point, single solutions and isolated initiatives will not be enough to secure a thriving future for people and planet.
Across the city there are many actors and projects working to reorient power, materials, resources and knowledges in service to the regeneration of our city. Yet we still have a long way to go to shift extractive and accumulated capital and transition our policy and politics towards a more equitable and long term view. Our ways of collaborating, distributing resources and harnessing the collective intelligences of our place are not set up well to accelerate these pockets of potential.
Regen Melbourne’s wildly ambitious goals are our contribution to this transition. They seek to radically increase our ambition and to deepen our collective systemic impact.
Our work is powered by our growing alliance of partners, and by the RM Lab, a partnership between five Melbourne universities.
