A regenerative city is an urban development built on an environmentally enhancing, restorative relationship with the natural systems from which the city draws resources for its sustenance. A regenerative city maintains a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship with its surrounding hinterland not only by minimizing its environmental impact but by actively improving and regenerating the productive capacity of the ecosystems from which it depends.

| - A regenerative city is an urban development built on an environmentally enhancing, restorative relationship with the natural systems from which the city draws resources for its sustenance. A regenerative city maintains a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship with its surrounding hinterland not only by minimizing its environmental impact but by actively improving and regenerating the productive capacity of the ecosystems from which it depends. The concept of a Regenerative City was first developed by an International Expert Commission on Cities and Climate Change convened by the World Future Council jointly with between 2008 and 2011. The Commission consisted of urban planning experts, climate scientists, representatives of the United Nations, politicians and the private sector. The concept was first presented through the report “Regenerative Cities” in 2010 and further expandedin various subsequent reports as well as in thebook titled “Creating Regenerative Cities” by Herbert Girardet. Since 2011 theconcept was also recurrently discussed during the annual Future of Cities Forum. The regenerative cityis also included in the principles for the New Urban Paradigm as outlined in The City We Need document compiled bythe UN-Habitatadvocacy and partnership platform the World Urban Campaign.The City We Need, whose aim is to set key principles and establish essential paths forbuilding a New Urban Agenda towards the HabitatIII conference,states that “the city we need is aregenerative city”. Examples of citiescommitting to the regenerative city concept include the city of Wittenberg inGermany which declared its intention to become a regenerative city in 2013. Similarly, IowaCity in the U.S. launched the Regenerative City Initiative in 2014, consisting ofvarious projects and strategies to transform the city into a regenerative city. (en)
