Descripción
Handbook of Regenerative Urbanism: Climate-Positive Pathways for Smart Cities explores how digital technologies such as AI, IoT, and digital twins can enable cities to move beyond conventional sustainability toward regenerative and climate-positive urban development. The book presents a framework that integrates ecological restoration with smart city innovations, showing how data-driven tools and nature-based solutions can restore ecosystems, enhance resilience, and deliver measurable benefits.
The book covers foundational concepts, practical regenerative strategies, core smart technologies, governance and policy integration, and detailed case studies. It addresses topics including digital urban ecosystem modeling, AI- optimized mobility, smart resource management, digital twins, and technology-driven governance.
This reference is valuable for urban planners, architects, policymakers, sustainability professionals, researchers, postgraduate students, and smart city professionals working on climate-positive cities and the digital green transition.
