Regenerative Design: The Future of Urban Planning | Douglas Voigt | Be All You Can

What does it take to design cities that heal the planet while putting people first? In this episode of Be All You Can, Douglas Voigt, Urban Design and Planning Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), shares how his philosophy of "planet first, community first" has shaped projects from the Wild Mile, a floating wetland park on the Chicago River, to the waterfronts of Detroit and the Pearl River Delta. From navigating a jurisdictional maze on a river that needs an act of Congress to alter, to learning from a child's simple question about riding a bike through a city block, Douglas reflects on the power of participatory design, shared principles, and thinking bigger and smaller at the same time. He explains why regenerative design is not a luxury but an imperative, and why cities like Mumbai can grow and heal at once. He also offers ideas on designing for urban heat, the real role of AI in the design studio, and the capabilities tomorrow's designers need to build. Along the way, he imagines a transformational project for India: reconnecting Mumbai's hills and forests to its coastline. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on regenerative cities, community-led design, curiosity, and what it truly means to build places where people and nature can thrive.
