Resilience and regenerative design strategies on the urban design scale
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Urban environmental degradation and disasters are leading to the application of regenerative and resilient concepts at the urban design scale. Urban design is about the arrangement, appearance, and function of our neighborhoods and cities that can significantly affect a place's environmental, socio-economic, and cultural outcomes. The current approach to resilience has not been very proactive, without clear long-term strategies for change. Regenerative design reaches further and aims beyond net zero results. It derives from context, creating a need to understand wider environmental, socio-economic, and cultural requirements. Regenerative urban design compared to resilience reinforces the capacity for self-healing; attempting to give back what engineering growth has taken from nature. This paper aims to identify strategies for greater resilience and regenerative design at the urban design scale. In particular, the concept of resilience is explored in sustainability and regenerative urban design. The paper concludes with new urban design principles that should be applied in everyday life to support the creation of resilient and regenerative solutions for the built environment.

Resilience and regenerative design strategies on the urban design scale

Urban environmental degradation and disasters are leading to the application of regenerative and resilient concepts at the urban design scale. Urban design is about the arrangement, appearance, and function of our neighborhoods and cities that can significantly affect a place's environmental, socio-economic, and cultural outcomes. The current approach to resilience has not been very proactive, without clear long-term strategies for change. Regenerative design reaches further and aims beyond net zero results. It derives from context, creating a need to understand wider environmental, socio-economic, and cultural requirements. Regenerative urban design compared to resilience reinforces the capacity for self-healing; attempting to give back what engineering growth has taken from nature. This paper aims to identify strategies for greater resilience and regenerative design at the urban design scale. In particular, the concept of resilience is explored in sustainability and regenerative urban design. The paper concludes with new urban design principles that should be applied in everyday life to support the creation of resilient and regenerative solutions for the built environment.
