Regenerative Urbanism
Regenerative Urbanism in the context of Eco Planning means creating city spaces that help nature thrive while people live and work there. Designers use living systems like green roofs, rain gardens, and urban forests to clean air and water. Streets and buildings are shaped to let rain soak into the ground, which helps plants and keeps water clean. Local food gardens and small parks are planned into neighborhoods to give people fresh food and places to relax. Materials for building are chosen because they can be used again or break down safely in nature. Designers measure how much energy, water, and waste a place uses, then make plans so the area gives back more than it takes. This way, cities become places where nature and people both do well.
