Our Origin
Regen Melbourne began as a way to reimagine a safe and just future for Greater Melbourne. When Regen Melbourne was formed - our city was experiencing the aftermath of the Black Summer bushfires and was in the midst of COVID-19 lockdowns. It was an intuitive response to safeguarding our place in a time of global metacrisis.
Now more than ever, we need a new way of defining our aspirations for the city.
Shaping the Doughnut
Through a series of workshops, Regen Melbourne exploredDoughnut Economics as a framework and a compass to orient us towards a new vision for the city.
This process acknowledged the need for a strong social foundation while respecting the planet's ecological ceiling, effectively creating a doughnut-shaped 'safe and just space for humanity'. This period of community consultation resulted in the creation of our collective vision for a regenerative Melbourne and a local version of the global doughnut, the 'Melbourne Doughnut'.
Remaking Melbourne
Single actors don't solve wicked problems. In order to understand and act on the myriad of global challenges we currently face, we must work together across the sectors and silos that have typically divided us. Melbourne has a unique role and opportunity to lead transformative action in our economic system that rebalances both people and the planet.
Regen Melbourne is a platform for ambitious collaboration, in service of our city. We host bold projects that raise our collective ambition and transition us toward a safe and just future. The Melbourne Doughnut acts as a guide for exploring, developing and actioning projects.
Together, we are remaking Melbourne.
