to redesign
To deliberately and often fundamentally change the appearance, structure, or form of something.
Die Stadt plant, den alten Marktplatz komplett umzugestalten.
The city plans to completely redesign the old market square.
'Umgestalten' (to redesign) is a separable verb. The prefix 'um' comes at the end in a main clause, while it remains attached to the verb in a subordinate clause. In the infinitive with 'zu', 'zu' comes between the prefix and the verb.
Die neue Regierung gestaltet das Bildungssystem um.
The new government is restructuring the education system.
The verb consists of the prefix 'um-' and the verb 'gestalten' (to shape/design). Here, the prefix 'um-' expresses a fundamental, often comprehensive change or renewal.

You can redesign both concrete things and abstract concepts. Typical objects are: a room, a garden, a website, a plan, or a process.
Wir wollen nächstes Jahr unseren Garten komplett umgestalten.

to change
'verändern' and 'umgestalten' both mean that something is made different. 'verändern' is more general: it can refer to small or large changes, for example in a plan, behavior, or form. 'umgestalten' is more suitable when you deliberately rebuild something or make it look clearly different, often with rooms, websites, or structures. If only one detail becomes different, 'verändern' sounds more natural. If the whole thing gets a new form, 'umgestalten' is more precise.
