Abstract
There is currently growing evidence of many conflicts and intolerance at both macro and micro levels in the world. These trends question the future of public space as a peaceful and inclusive commons. This paper focusses on regenerative public space in South Africa and its potential to contribute to thriving communities. By exploring the paradigm, process, and product, the discussion shares critical challenges facing public space development in the Global South while offering pathways for regenerative development and design applicable everywhere globally. The paper argues that regenerative public space can become a game- changer for peace construction and inclusion in diverse societies and contribute to healthy and thriving communities in global South and North cities.
