Journal Article
Creating Regenerative Cities
2014
Overview
A key fact is that urban areas are the world's economic powerhouses, in which 80 per cent of global GDP is being produced: Urban development and the global quest for economic growth are intimately linked. Urban economies in developing cities have also helped reduce the poverty suffered by hundreds of millions of people. But there is a downside: the aggregated environmental impacts of an urbanising humanity are a great cause for concern and they are largely ignored by urban planners and decision makers. If you want an urban world you need to assure that cities become environmentally benign organisms. In the author's view that means not just creating sustainable cities, but regenerative cities. Regenerative development is about a proactive relationship between humanity and the world's ecosystems, and about nurturing nature's dynamism and abundance whilst drawing on its income. Cities need to help regenerate soils, forests and watercourses that they depend on, rather than just accepting that they are \"sustained\" in a degraded condition.
