Abstract
Rapid urbanization poses major challenges to biodiversity, climate resilience, and social equity, as cities continue to expand into vulnerable natural landscapes. Addressing these pressures requires nature-based solutions that place landscape systems at the core of urban development. A landscape-based and regenerative approach works with natural processes, ecological networks, and cultural landscapes to guide sustainable urban growth. Through regional design, landscape logic is used to integrate nature, people, and history, enabling the regeneration of urban regions that support biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. This approach aligns global sustainability goals with place-specific strategies, fostering resilient and inclusive urban landscapes.
