Shape & Share Your Future Regenerative City
New Clark City Conference Do-track
Planning and Placemaking Charrette
Are you passionate about shaping the future regenerative city? Apply and join our ‘Do-track’ for regenerative city prototyping!
This Planning Charrette will take place during the WPC60-NCC, Philippines, as part of the 60th World Planning Congress Diamond Anniversary Series.
Much of the planning world increasingly focuses on regeneration, bringing nature back into existing cities, climate change adaptation, and many other topics around already existing places. But what about the cities that do not yet exist? What about all the new towns, mainly emerging in the Global South? Here, we do not want to repeat the same mistakes of the past; instead, there is an opportunity to leapfrog innovation cycles and subsequently get them right on the first attempt. We cannot afford to create cities that are not resilient anymore. Getting it wrong and fixing it can be costly and will prevent us from bringing the earth’s system back into balance before time has run out. These are enough reasons to work jointly on a New ‘Regenerative Cities Manifesto’.
With this first-ever Do-track we aim to test a new, applied, and participatory methodology for critical thinking, knowledge sharing, capacity building, and development of planning principles for new city planning. The goal is to reproduce and improve the Do-track in upcoming conferences, events, and workshops, within ISOCARP and partner organisations.

THE DO-TRACK
The First International Conference for New Regenerative Cities in New Clark City, as part of its 60th World Planning Congress Diamond Anniversary Series, will host a “Do-track” planning workshop spanning over 3 days as core activity for regenerative city prototyping, complementary to the 5 established tracks.
This Do-track will focus on the creation of a Manifesto for New Regenerative Cities, which uses the location and the nature of the place, as a planned new city in the making, and frames it within a global perspective on future-proof, new, ‘well-planned’ cities.New Clark City will be the starting point and first case-study of the Do-track, before opening the scope to all the newly emerging cities, mainly in South-East Asia, in the Indian Subcontinent and Sub-Saharan Africa.
With the first edition of the Manifesto for New Regenerative Cities, which will be dedicated to New Clark City, we want to offer an inspiring image and working document for regenerative city prototyping, to be edited, expanded, and developed more in depth through new cases around the world and with the input of different stakeholders. The goal is to kick-start a conversation and offer a platform for exchanging ideas.
OBJECTIVES
- Establishing a Manifesto for New Regenerative Cities accompanied by (planning/placemaking) designs to as inspiring practice for and kick start a conversation in NCC in many and other comparable (medium-sized) new towns and cities around the world;
- Elaboration of planning and design principles as possible pathways into application (e.g. Manual of regenerative new town planning);
- Presentation of the manifesto at the closing ceremony of the NCC Conference and at the World Planning Congress in Siena;.
- Establish the Do-track as a capacity building methodology to train/advise planning officials, political leaders, and design professionals on resilient and socially inclusive (new) city planning, in different geographies;
- Curate a series of publications that can serve as a guidance for city leaders, planners, and stakeholders of new towns and cities (the first issue will be focusing on New Clark City);
