Visionary urbanist and regenerative development leader Tony Cho is set to release his highly anticipated book, Generation Regeneration, on August 11, 2026. The book offers a forward-looking blueprint for leaders, creators, and changemakers ready to reshape cities and communities to be more interconnected, resilient, and life-affirming.

Generation Regeneration takes readers inside the regenerative placemaking movement, exploring models, mindsets, and strategies that are transforming real estate from a transactional industry into a force for healing – of people, communities, and ecosystems. From community-driven developments to biophilic design, circular building practices, social infrastructure innovations, and place-based frameworks, the book highlights practical examples already restoring vitality to neighbourhoods while strengthening cultural identity and belonging.

“A new approach to urban development is emerging, one that centres collaboration, ecological stewardship, and human thriving – we call it ‘Regenerative Placemaking,’” says Tony Cho. “Generation Regeneration is a guide for anyone ready to reimagine—and co-create—the cities & communities of tomorrow.”

Tony Cho, Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur • Visionary Community Builder • Regenerative Placemaker

Tony Cho is a purpose-driven entrepreneur, visionary community builder, and leading voice in regenerative placemaking. A catalyst of Miami’s urban renaissance, he played a key role in transforming the Wynwood Arts District and founded the Magic City Innovation District, helping position Miami as a global hub for creativity and innovation.

Tony continues to advance community-centred developments worldwide that activate creativity, restore ecosystems, and shape future-ready cities. Through education, storytelling, and hands-on demonstration of regenerative principles, he brings “ecosystems thinking” to life at projects such as the Climate & Innovation HUB in Miami and the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District in Jacksonville, Florida.

Featured on Gaia TV’s The Road to Utopia and in outlets including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Tony’s mission is clear: to positively impact the lives of a billion people through innovation in the built environment.
