Regenerative Placemaking

12:30 - 13:00

La Centrale

Real estate stands at a crossroads: keep consuming land for short-term profit, or become a force for ecological and social healing. Tony Cho, entrepreneur and founder of Future of Cities in Miami, takes the Utopian Hours stage to present a third way: “Regenerative Placemaking.”

With over two decades transforming neighbourhoods like Wynwood and the Climate + Innovation HUB, Cho is the author of the book Generation Regeneration. Through Cho Ventures, he shows that real estate investment and climate technology can work with nature, not against it: planting trees, removing pavement, and backing local entrepreneurship all raise a neighbourhood’s value and resilience. A practical blueprint for decarbonising urban development.
