Presentation

Description: Regenerative urbanism creates a balance where buildings, their occupants and the surrounding systems, both natural and man-made, work together to create resources rather than deplete them. Research shows that the integration of regenerative elements can yield greater returns over time. This approach uses dynamic governance systems to monitor and share the costs and benefits of urban life. It allows for multiple objectives to be achieved, from managing water and reusing waste biproducts to optimizing renewable resources across compact communities in new ways.

  1. ^ RegenUrban2023 is a philosophy and approach to urban design and development that aims to create cities and communities that not only sustain themselves, but also improve the health and well-being of both the natural environment and the people who live in them. This can be achieved through a variety of strategies, such as incorporating green spaces, promoting walkability and bike-friendliness, and designing buildings and infrastructure that are energy-efficient and make use of renewable resources. The goal of regenerative urbanism is to create cities that are resilient, adaptive, and regenerative, and that contribute positively to the overall ecological, social, and economic well-being of the planet.
