Project description
Transforming marginalised areas into vibrant, sustainable communities
Urbanisation and climate change have exacerbated challenges in European cities, leaving many neighbourhoods deprived and vulnerable. Marginalised areas suffer from poor quality of life, health disparities, and environmental degradation. Traditional urban planning approaches often overlook community participation and fail to address the interconnected issues of climate resilience and social equity. In this context, the EU-funded ReGreeneration project tackles climate resilience and social equity in nine European cities. Over 4 years, the consortium will implement Nature Based Solutions designed to enhance health, biodiversity, and community involvement. Key focuses include carbon capture, water management, and green mobility. By fostering participation and integrating local contexts, ReGreeneration aims to create replicable models for urban regeneration across Europe.
Objective
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.
