Landscape Regeneration

Landscape Regeneration

Landscape Regeneration is a design approach in eco architecture that uses living plants and soil systems to help clean water and air on a site. Designers can use special types of wetlands, green roofs, and rain gardens to filter pollution and slow down stormwater. These systems can be built into buildings and outdoor spaces. When planning, designers often map out how water moves across the land and place these features where they will catch and treat runoff. This helps keep rivers and lakes clean and supports local wildlife. Using native plants in these systems can attract birds and insects, making the area healthier and more lively. These methods can even lower the temperature in cities by creating more shade and cooling the air.
