Urban Regeneration: An “Incremental Circularity” Perspective

Abstract

Urban Regeneration (UR) is an approach to urban development contrasting soil consumption by catalyzing social energies to reuse urban existing heritage (brownfields and dismissed buildings). The authors of this chapter are professionals within KCity Ltd., a bespoke consultancy specialized in UR design strategies adopting an interdisciplinary approach, derived in particular from policy analysis and urban planning. The aim of this chapter is investigating the potential of UR practices to give a contribution to the scientific debate about Circular Economy and its application into urban development.
