ReGreeneration | The next generation of green, resilient and socially inclusive smart cities

Original description

ReGreeneration is a public-private consortium including 9 European cities that will design & experiment together for 4 years Nature Based Solutions to regenerate deprived neighbourhoods for climate resilience, GES reduction and local ecosystem dynamization through participative methods.

A set of mixed skills, covering architecture, landscape design, geomatics and digital twins, project value modelling, urbanism, nature & public space facilities, sociology, economics will be deployed in different projects in Paris (FR), Barcelona (ES), Alverca (PT), Bucharest (RO), followed by replicators located in Roma (IT), Gent (BE), Ljubljana (SL), Segrate (IT), Lappeeranta (FI).
Projects are complementary and will contribute to create a replicable knowledge on a large set of cities’ challenges:
- How to regenerate quality of life, health and attractiveness in marginalized areas (Bucharest, Paris)
- How to capture carbon, create freshness Islands, preserve biodiversity, make a better usage of water, develop low carbon mobility & continuity, prepare resilience to stressed weather events (Alverca, Barcelona, Paris)
- How to educate and make local actors (inhabitants, municipality agents, local businesses, political authorities) participate to design & maintain the green areas created ? (the nine cities)
- How to analyze the diversity of local contexts to choose the right best practices to replicate in a european territory, and define the required investment & governance model ? (Roma, Gent, Ljubljana, Segrate, Lappeeranta)
The knowledge to successfully create for meeting these challenges will focus on some key concepts: 1) Creation of an in-depth territory analysis unifying multiple planning domains and able to simulate evolution scenarios; 2) Extensive use of 15 Mn methodology and pedestrian/green mobility focus to support life quality and impacts analysis; 3) Permanent integration of local climate resilience challenges at each key milestones of the project.
