Territorial Co-existence and Archipelagos. Paipa (Colombia): between Rural and Urban
type: item
description: Urban, rural, and environmental requirements must be equivalent transforming the territory, protecting the natural environment and local well-being. This study uses design as a research methodology in Paipa (Colombia). Proposals are compared to analyze variables of infrastructure, morphology, and socioeconomic and environmental conditions, prioritizing solutions between rural and urban areas. The design process is carried out in phases: site diagnosis and analysis, definition of rururban structures, design of integrative plans, and strategic projects applied in a workshop including architecture and regional planning students, resulting in diverse projects. Finally, we verified the functionality of sustainable strategies for the territory as a co-existence. We project scenarios to respond to situations of scarcity, equitable to the needs of people and natural systems, and defining archipelagos as functional units that cohesively foster and integrate rural and urban areas.

Regenerative Urbanism in Spain
type: item
description: In the context of the desertification of the Iberian Peninsula resulting from climate change, an economic boom is serving as an historic opportunity to implement a multidisciplinary deliberative forum capable of coming to agreement regarding a Spanish Regenerative Territorial and Urban Model (MUTRE) that is set for implementation before 2100. The MUTRE would serve as a legal framework for promoting and financing strategic projects involving adaptation, mitigation and regeneration, both in the contexts of Spanish compact cities and of the empty territory of Spain. For compact cities, known adaptation, mitigation and regeneration strategies are proposed. For the empty territory, land reconquest strategies and ways of inhabiting that are better aligned with local resources are speculated. Positioning water and energy cycles as the focus, regenerative strategic projects could be critical of mass tourism, water engineering systems, intensive and irrigation agriculture, and modern infrastructures such as water treatment plants, desalination plants, data centres and large-scale renewables.

Regenerative Urbanism and Proximity: Designing Cities for People
type: item
description: The article is presented as a general overview of issue 25 of ZARCH magazine, dedicated to Regenerative Urbanism. It reviews the main theoretical contributions that make up the theoretical framework that redefines the purpose of contemporary urban planning: it is not enough to minimise urban damage, but it is necessary to regenerate life in all its dimensions—ecological, social, cultural, and spiritual—placing the city as an active agent of planetary regeneration. It reviews various areas of particular importance in this field, such as public value and the common good; the transformation of the existing city and the opportunity presented by brownfields; and urban entropy and socio-environmental rebalancing, for example. The connection between the concept of Regenerative Urbanism and the “15-minute city” approach is analysed in detail, finding clear links when it is considered that proximity cannot be achieved without prior regeneration. In conclusion, the article ends with a “Manifesto for a Proximity-Based, Just, and Culturally Vibrant City”.

Eloquent Interiors. Milan 1928-1978
type: item
description: This article reflects on the experience of dwelling in Milan through the research published and exhibited in Nelle case. Milan Interiors 1928–1978 by Enrico Morteo and Orsina Simona Pierini. The volume documents 220 residential interiors of Milan’s bourgeoisie between 1928 and 1978 through 1,357 images and 130 redrawn plans, offering a compelling vision of domestic life at the time. The merit of the authors lies in recovering and transmitting the history of these interiors, designed by architects and designers over a span of fifty years. The starting date, 1928, is conventionally associated with the birth of Italian modernity, coinciding with the simultaneous appearance of Domus and La Casa Bella; the end date, 1978, marks the emergence of new needs and clients. The article highlights how the clients—mostly progressive members of the bourgeoisie, often the architects themselves—fostered a “domesticated” modernity, a tempered rationalism mediating between tradition, Art Deco, and modernity. These interiors functioned as laboratories of experimentation and display a sophisticated coexistence between old and new, integrating art, historic furniture, and contemporary design. The exhibition, organized thematically, adds further reflections on color and spatial variations. The reflections presented here situate these projects within their context, framing them in a study that the work represents a fundamental contribution to the history of dwelling in Milan, with notable historiographical and didactic value.

Regenerative Routes in the Colonization Villages of the Lower Guadalquivir
type: item
description: From a contemporary perspective—one that moves beyond the traditional opposition between city and countryside in favour of a more complex and integrated understanding of territory—urban regeneration cannot be conceived without its landscape dimension, especially in rural areas, where the link between settlements and the natural environment has historically been inseparable. In this context, tourism and the creation of cultural itineraries emerge as agro-urbanism tools for territorial regeneration, not only in terms of heritage conservation but also as means to activate the landscape and strengthen local identity. The work presented in this article proposes a strategic advancement focused on the design of regenerative routes, applied to the area of the colonisation villages in the Lower Guadalquivir region, south of Seville, which were built between the 1950s and 1960s as part of the internal colonisation process promoted under Franco’s regime. From a perspective that integrates regenerative urbanism operations into its application to traditional and peri-urban rural landscapes, the objective is to present a model that, on one hand, responsibly diversifies tourist flows toward areas currently perceived as marginal, and on the other hand, redefines the role of these places within the contemporary territorial system by promoting sustainable development.

Safe Trails. Meeting Spaces for Civic Coexistence in Quito-Ecuador
type: item
description: The year 2022 was the most violent in Ecuador's history, with an 82% increase in violent deaths compared to 2021. In Quito, crimes rose by 46.3%, affecting the perception of security and quality of life. The lack of adequate infrastructure contributes to exclusion and inequality in access to public space. The mayor of Quito’s plan proposes the creation of gathering spaces to improve security and strengthen urban identity. It suggests that citizen security can be enhanced through the social construction of public space, promoting walkability, social cohesion, and interculturality. The Safe Pathways project aims to reclaim public space to encourage safe pedestrian mobility and improve social well-being. It is based on interventions such as lighting, traffic calming, and urban environment improvements, with a focus on socio-spatial equity, gender, security, sustainability, social capital, and transportation. Territorial analysis identified patterns for implementing these pathways, achieving a 30% reduction in crimes in the intervened areas and an increase in the perception of security. Additionally, infrastructure improvements have encouraged walkability and public space use, strengthening community life.

Fifteen Years of Regeneration in the Green Belt of Vitoria-Gasteiz: Project and Reality of Connectivity between the Armentia Forest and the River Zadorra
type: item
description: The territorial and urban regeneration mechanisms that began to be implemented in a pioneering manner at the start of this century, inspired by European directives, marked new trends that shifted the focus towards urban ecosystems. These strategies paid particular attention to the relationship between the urban fabric and ecological processes, the restoration of natural cycles, and the enhancement of territorial biocapacity. In Spain, one of the earliest and most significant examples was the Green Belt of Vitoria-Gasteiz. More than a decade has now passed since its implementation, and this research examines some of the outcomes generated by this intervention. Specifically, it focuses on the section of the Green Belt that ensures ecological connectivity on the western side, linking the Armentia Forest with the River Zadorra, by comparing selected project documents with the current situation fifteen years after execution. The aim of the study is to identify the main strategies that guided the intervention and to assess their present effectiveness, with particular attention to the evolution of mechanisms associated with regenerative urbanism. As a result, the findings underscore the particular importance of the connecting areas in the western sector of a green infrastructure project such as the Green Belt of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Open Space Design Towards Resilient Territories: The Case of El Maresme (Barcelona) as a Laboratory for a Teaching Experience
type: item
description: This article presents the pedagogical approach and results of a design studio focused on public space and landscape, conducted with fifth-year architecture students during the first semester of the 2024–2025 academic year at the School of Architecture of the City. The Maresme region (Barcelona) was used as a living laboratory—an area characterized by fragmented urbanization interspersed with open spaces of diverse socio-ecological value. Within this context, the student projects aimed to mitigate certain inefficiencies of the urban fabric while enhancing the environmental values of unbuilt land. The DANA storm that devastated Valencia served as a disruptive event, heightening awareness of the risks associated with flash floods—risks that also affect the Maresme territory. This event inspired an alternative perspective on water: not merely as a threat to be swiftly drained, but as a resource to be wisely managed. Many of the proposals were guided by this shift, exploring themes such as design as the starting point of evolving ecological processes, the compatibility between urban functionality and active natural systems, and other reflections discussed throughout the article.

NatCity: Cultivating Interspecies Architectures for Ecosystemic Transformation
type: item
description: Regenerative urbanism shifts the prevailing paradigm of sustainability toward a proactive model of ecosystem restoration, positioning cities as agents of biodiversity and socio-ecological resilience. Within this framework, the experimental teaching project NatCity, developed with undergraduate architecture students, explores the potential of architecture and public space as living infrastructures—capable of hosting, interconnecting, and amplifying multispecies biological interactions. Through the convergence of the interspecies assemblage and the ecosystemic semilattice, the project proposes a pedagogical methodology for reconfiguring the consolidated city as a dynamic metabolic fabric. This didactic experience frames architecture as both a tool for ecosystemic literacy and a medium for speculative design exploration in transforming the built environment. Rather than pursuing conclusive solutions, the approach aims to foster critical reflection on architectural practice from an eco-dependent and interrelational standpoint. The coexistence of humans and other species is conceived as a design grammar—a sensitive way of reading the territory and projecting affectively from within. This approach advocates for a situated design literacy that shifts the notion of dwelling-in toward dwelling-with, opening a path toward multispecies urban reconfiguration.

Sustainable Food Strategies of Market Halls in Madrid. Urban Implications
type: item
description: Urban food systems constitute a structuring axis of territorial organization, urban planning, and social dynamics. In Madrid, municipal markets have historically functioned as key sites of local provisioning and civic interaction. However, the rise of supermarkets, shopping centers, and online retail has precipitated a profound crisis, prompting the incorporation of new strategies aligned with sustainable food systems. Concurrently, civic movements and municipal policies—such as urban gardens, agroecological cooperatives, and sustainable food programs—have reconfigured the relationship between producers and consumers. These initiatives promote circular economies, responsible consumption, and urban resilience, thereby positioning food as a catalyst for territorial and cultural transformation. Within this framework, markets emerge as social mediators that connect diverse stakeholders and reconcile economic interests with collective benefits. Beyond their commercial role, they may be understood as instruments of regenerative urbanism and food equity. The article’s contribution lies in demonstrating how markets can be reframed as strategic food infrastructures at the intersection of city, territory, and citizenship.

Reimagining Porto's Inner Beltway: A Regenerative Urban Transformation
type: item
description: Porto's Via de Cintura Interna (VCI) is an urban motorway that, paradoxically, contributes to the territory's integration and fragmentation. Its urban and environmental impact extends across a vast area along its edges, threatening the city's decarbonisation objectives. Expressways, a type of road associated with the mass use of cars, have become a determining factor in shaping the urban landscape, often disrupting the urban and social fabric. The car-centric model has had devastating environmental and social effects, creating physical barriers and segregating communities. The adversity of pedestrian movements is a consequence of these ruptures in space, which is now discontinuous and hierarchical. The urgency of promoting more sustainable cities calls for the consolidation of urban policies to enhance the system of collective spaces, along with the transition to balanced and inclusive mobility alternatives. This proposal invests in the regeneration of the urban (and social) fabric by integrating the VCI and its banks into Porto's natural and urban systems, recovering the territory's memory and reinforcing relations of solidarity between communities. This research project, developed in the Integrated Master's Degree in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto, seeks to offer a plausible vision for restoring urban quality and street life, with the environmental goals of decarbonisation as the motto for urban regeneration centred on sustainable mobility.

Contribution of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete to the Sustainable Development Goals
type: item
description: The development of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) structural precast elements for use in architecture is an innovative line of research that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. This article explores the link between their characteristics and the SDG targets related to construction. Given the importance of the production and consumption of concrete, which is universally affordable and available yet characterized by a high carbon footprint, proposals to reduce CO2 emissions in the production and use of this material could have a highly positive environmental impact. FRC can be adapted to different levels of technology, climatic conditions and budgets: this enables innovation to be transferred to countries with high social vulnerability, a key priority of the 2030 Agenda. Reducing dependence on steel in countries where it is not produced enables small manufacturers to build efficient structures using nearby resources.

From Sitopia to Regenerative Urbanism: Designing Cities through Dood. A Conversation with Carolyn Steel
type: item
description: This conversation with Carolyn Steel examines how sitopian thinking and food-centred economics can act as structuring frameworks for regenerative urbanism. Taking food as a material, cultural and political lens, the interview addresses key issues such as redefining the “good life” in the 21st century, reconnecting cities with their territories, the question of scale in food systems, the role of small-scale initiatives as transitional infrastructures, and the potential of planning to foster more relational, territorial and ecologically integrated urban models. Rather than proposing technocratic fixes, Steel articulates a regenerative vision grounded in the social value of food, the renewed proximity between nature and society, and the capacity of cities and regions to imagine desirable post-growth futures.

Regenerative Urbanism
type: item
description: The text addresses the profound environmental and social crises generated by the extractive urban model that emerged from the Industrial Revolution, which has produced highly unsustainable cities and exceeded the planet’s regenerative capacity. Contemporary urbanism, largely focused on productivity and technological innovation, has often neglected domestic, social and ecological dimensions, resulting in fragmented, car-dependent and socially unequal urban fabrics. In this context of global systemic crisis, existing urban planning tools are insufficient to respond to interconnected challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and social inequality. The text proposes regenerative urbanism as a necessary paradigm shift that goes beyond sustainability, aiming not only to reduce impacts but to actively repair and revitalize urban ecosystems. Rooted in ecological thinking and traditions of cooperation and mutual aid, regenerative urbanism emphasizes symbiosis between human and non-human systems, resilience, biodiversity and adaptive capacity. It draws on historical and contemporary practices that prioritize human-scale environments, active mobility, inclusive neighborhoods, circular economies and efficient management of water, energy and materials. The call invites critical, historical and applied contributions that explore regenerative strategies across scales, from public space to territorial planning, as well as methodologies, governance models and educational experiences capable of shaping a resilient and cooperative urban future.
