RENEW-Futures will develop, demonstrate, and validate a novel regenerative design methodology and associated tools for developing beautiful, inclusive, and ecological neighbourhoods within urban, peri-urban and rural settings. The methodology enables the integration of regenerative interventions, from individual buildings and shared infrastructure to wider neighbourhood landscapes. The methodology and tools will empower stakeholders throughout the construction ecosystem, including local communities, to achieve water-positive, energy self-sufficient, climate-resilient, and climate-positive developments that actively restore ecosystems and enhance community health and wellbeing. To achieve this, the project will integrate key design perspectives applicable to regenerative buildings and neighbourhoods, encompassing ecological considerations, biodiversity enhancement, low-carbon solutions, energy and aesthetic values, embracing water-positive designs, and fostering inclusivity.
