ABSTRACT

Regenerative approaches to the built environment represent a conceptual departure from reductionist sustainability fields. By utilizing the inherent interconnections between social-ecological systems as an informing foundation, regenerative fields have the potential to facilitate transformation towards sustainable cities. This paper provides a systematic review of publications on urban regenerative thinking and practice, including across urban development stages and sectors. Results indicate precincts as the optimum scale for regenerative intervention and provide insights into the worldviews underpinning regenerative approaches. The targets and aspirations of regenerative fields are well-documented, along with the practical challenges to effective implementation. Gaps in the literature are identified including paradigmatic and definitional inconsistencies across urban regenerative thinking and practice. Similarly, there is a lack of detail on the realization of planning aspirations at subsequent stages of building lifecycles. The sample also does not extensively outline the specific engagement mechanisms required to remove barriers to regenerative practice or encourage its uptake across geographic and legislative contexts. Whilst the operationalization of regenerative principles in high-density urban environments remains a challenge, these fields offer transformative frameworks to not only mitigate further harm but also achieve net-positive natural and social outcomes.

摘要

建筑环境的再生方法代表了与还原论可持续性领域的概念背离。通过利用社会生态系统之间的内在联系作为信息基础，再生领域具有促进向可持续城市转型的潜力。本文系统回顾了有关城市再生思维和实践的出版物，包括跨城市发展阶段和部门。结果表明，辖区是再生干预的最佳规模，并提供了对支持再生方法的世界观的见解。再生领域的目标和愿望是有据可查的，以及有效实施的实际挑战。确定了文献中的差距，包括城市再生思维和实践中的范式和定义不一致。同样，在建筑生命周期的后续阶段实现规划愿望的细节也缺乏。该样本也没有广泛概述消除再生实践障碍或鼓励其在地理和立法环境中采用所需的具体参与机制。尽管在高密度城市环境中实施再生原则仍然是一个挑战，但这些领域提供了变革性框架，不仅可以减轻进一步的伤害，还可以实现净积极的自然和社会成果。在建筑生命周期的后续阶段，缺乏实现规划愿望的细节。该样本也没有广泛概述消除再生实践障碍或鼓励其在地理和立法环境中采用所需的具体参与机制。尽管在高密度城市环境中实施再生原则仍然是一个挑战，但这些领域提供了变革性框架，不仅可以减轻进一步的伤害，还可以实现净积极的自然和社会成果。在建筑生命周期的后续阶段，缺乏实现规划愿望的细节。该样本也没有广泛概述消除再生实践障碍或鼓励其在地理和立法环境中采用所需的具体参与机制。尽管在高密度城市环境中实施再生原则仍然是一个挑战，但这些领域提供了变革性框架，不仅可以减轻进一步的伤害，还可以实现净积极的自然和社会成果。
