Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to analyse both traditional and regenerative fields across four layers, litany, systems, worldviews and myth/metaphor. It aims to provide in-depth insight into the beliefs, values epistemologies and assumptions that scaffold thinking and practice. As a result of this analysis, future implications for regenerative urban practice are also considered. Design/methodology/approach Prevailing sustainability approaches seek to mitigate further harm in urban centres by increasing efficiency and minimising resource consumption and impact. They are primarily underpinned by a reductionist worldview that separates human objectives from those of the natural world. In contrast, regenerative approaches to urban sustainability have emerged out of an ecological worldview and aim to achieve net positive outcomes as a result of co-evolutionary relationships between social and ecological systems. This paper explores both approaches in urban communities through futures thinking tool, causal layered analysis. Findings As a result of the causal layered analysis undertaken, this paper provides insights into regenerative thinking and practice in urban settings. These insights cover four main thematic categories: purpose, place, practice and progress. Moving to the deeper layers of worldview and myth metaphor analysis, in particular, has significant implications for ongoing practice, including facilitating processes by which communities can reflect upon, unpack and reconstruct their concepts of future “success”. Originality/value Anthropogenic climate change continues to deliver worsening ecological, social and economic impacts globally. Urban centres are particularly central to this crisis given their massive resource consumption and rapid population growth. This paper provides an alternative, deep analysis to consider thinking and practice required for urban regeneration. It reveals the need for a shift in purpose and a deeper understanding of place, illustrating the roles that futures tools may place in this transition.

再生都市主义:因果分层分析
目的本文旨在从四个层面分析传统领域和再生领域,即序列、系统、世界观和神话/隐喻。它旨在深入了解支撑思维和实践的信念、价值观、认识论和假设。作为这一分析的结果,还考虑了未来对再生城市实践的影响。设计/方法/方法主流的可持续性方法旨在通过提高效率、最大限度地减少资源消耗和影响来减轻城市中心的进一步危害。它们主要是由一种简化主义世界观支撑的,这种世界观将人类的目标与自然世界的目标区分开来。相比之下,城市可持续性的再生方法是从生态世界观中产生的,其目的是由于社会和生态系统之间的共同进化关系而实现净积极成果。本文通过未来思维工具——因果分层分析,探讨了这两种方法在城市社区中的应用。结果作为因果分层分析的结果,本文对城市环境中的再生思维和实践提供了见解。这些见解涵盖四个主要主题类别:目的、地点、实践和进展。特别是,深入世界观和神话隐喻分析对正在进行的实践具有重要意义,包括促进社区反思、解读和重建其未来“成功”概念的过程。独创性/价值人为气候变化继续在全球范围内造成日益恶化的生态、社会和经济影响。鉴于城市中心的巨大资源消耗和人口快速增长,城市中心在这场危机中尤为重要。本文提供了一种可供选择的、深入的分析,以考虑城市更新所需的思考和实践。它揭示了目标转变和对地方更深入理解的必要性,说明了未来工具在这一转变中可能扮演的角色。
