“…This is because the precinct scale allows for the coordination and economic feasibility of shared eco-infrastructure – localised solutions versus centralised solutions are a major issue in future planning as many sustainability solutions, particularly infrastructure (e.g. distributed energy, sustainable transport, water sensitive urban design), are local in scale (Bunning et al, 2013; Green and Newman, 2017; Newton et al, 2011; Rauland and Newman, 2015). Infrastructure integration at the precinct scale can improve efficiencies and provide opportunities for a more holistic approach to urban environments (Newton, 2014; Newton et al, 2012).…”

“…Consistent measurements are not commonly used, but they are required to provide a common lexicon for urban regenerative performance comparison and coordination (Fink, 2011; Rauland and Newman, 2015). However, this may change following the development of consistent urban regenerative measurements proposed by the International Standards Organization in Sustainable Development in Communities (ISO, 2016), to enable comparison and rolling up of metrics, between jurisdictions and through the tiers of government.…”

The emerging ‘grand challenges’ of climate change, resource scarcity and population growth present a risk nexus to cities in the Anthropocene. This article discusses the potential that rapid urbanisation presents to help mitigate these risks through large-scale transitions if future urban development is delivered using evidence-based policies that promote regenerative urban outcomes (e.g. decarbonising energy, recycling water and waste, generating local food, integrating biodiversity). Observations from an Australian case study are used to describe urban governance approaches capable of supporting regenerative urbanism. The regenerative urbanism concept is associated with macro-scale urban and transport planning that shapes different urban fabrics (walking, transit, automobile), as the underlying infrastructure of each fabric exhibits a different performance, with automobile fabric being the least regenerative. Supporting urban systems based upon regenerative design principles at different scales (macro, meso and micro) can deliver deep and dramatic outcomes for not just reducing the impact of the grand challenges but turning them into regenerative change. In combination, these approaches form the cornerstone of regenerative cities that can address the grand challenges of the Anthropocene, while simultaneously improving livability and urban productivity to foster human flourishing.

“…Previous research has argued that a dynamic evaluation of the whole life cycle of buildings and neighbourhoods, from planning to the design and construction phases to occupancy and finally dismantling, is required (Berardi 2011). Importantly, the array of rating tools lead to confusion among built environment professionals as to their scope and the standards applied (Doan, Ghaffarianhoseini et al 2017;Rauland and Newman 2015;Wilkinson 2013). There is evidence of 'greenwashing' of ratings by residential property developers (Martek and Hosseini 2018;Warren-Myers, Bartak et al 2020).…”

“…Urban air pollution, connected to rapidly rising urban populations, is a top environmental concern and has been recognized as a global challenge in the 21st century. − It is well-known that residents of urban settlements are exposed to a complex mixture of pollutants of natural and synthetic origin. − Pollutants originating from different sources, such as dietary or smoking habits, consumer products, and heating/cooking fuels and their combustion products may be part of this complex mixture. Although some urban derived pollutants have been associated with adverse health effects, − there is little or no information about a potentially vast number of pollutants to which urban populations are exposed.…”

The performance of silicon wristband passive samplers (WB), combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas-chromatography/time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (GC × GC/ToF−MS), for the analysis of urban derived pollutants in the personal environment was evaluated. Cumulative 5-day exposure samples from 27 individuals in areas with different geographical/socioeconomic characteristics within the Santiago Metropolitan Region (Chile) were collected during winter and summer (2016−2017). Samples were extracted without cleanup/ fractionation and analyzed using targeted and nontargeted methods. The quantified semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs, n = 33) (targeted analysis), and tentatively identified features (n = 595−1011) (nontargeted analysis) were classified according to their use/source. Seasonal differences were observed in the targeted analysis, while seasonal and spatial differences were observed in the nontargeted analysis. Higher concentrations of combustion products were observed in winter, while higher concentrations of consumer products were found in summer. Spatial differences were observed in hierarchical clustering analysis of the nontargeted data, with distinct clusters corresponding to specific subregions of the urban area. Results from this study provide spatial and seasonal distributions of urban pollutants within an urban area and establish the utility of linking WB with nontargeted analysis as a tool to identify and prioritize new exposures to urban contaminants at the local/community level.
