Design for Regenerative Cities and Landscapes: Rebalancing Human Impact and Natural Environment

Opis

This book discusses the way to design and plan for regenerative cities and landscapes. Where sustainability aims to safeguard the resources for future generations, and the resilience concept focuses on dealing with shocks to keep the system functioning, regeneration aims to give back more than it takes from the system. This principle is often used in analytical and assessment literature, but not yet elaborated in a spatial planning and design context, which this book does. It offers insights from a range of perspectives, spatial scales, such as the country level, neighbourhood public space, streets and the building levels, scientific fields and continents, amongst which Africa, Oceania, and Europe.

He held several professorship positions at VHL University (Professor of Design for Urban Agriculture 2014-2016), University of Technology Sydney (Professor of Sustainable Urban Environments 2016-2018) and Hanze University Groningen (Professor of Spatial Transformations 2019-2021). Before 2010 he worked for the province of Groningen and municipalities such as Almere, Breda and Rotterdam on the design of ecological and sustainable cities and landscapes. Recently, he led the design of a Nature-Rich Netherlands, the climate adaptive design 2021 for the Groningen region, he initiated the FEW-nexus project ‘the Moveable Nexus’, and he designed the Edible Park in Ede, the Netherlands. Rob has facilitated over 40 design charrettes worldwide and has presented his work at conferences and symposia all around the world.
