Summary
Urban regeneration is a key strategy for transforming cities, improving quality of life, and advancing social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic development. If well governed, urban regeneration processes can generate social value for local community and other stakeholders. By learning from past experiences, policymakers, urban planners, and community leaders can draw valuable insights to guide future projects and address similar challenges in their own urban contexts.
The event will feature presentations of meaningful case studies of urban regeneration exploring strategies and policies adopted in different urban areas to create social value for all. During the event the Sustainable Urban Regeneration Atlas designed by Bocconi University and UN-Habitat, showcasing exemplar cases of regeneration projects worldwide will be presented.
