Urban Regeneration for the Ecological and Just Transition

This book explores the transformations required for urban regeneration to become a true driver of urban transition—one capable of moving us beyond the traditional sustainability paradigm while ensuring that no one is left behind. For that, it examines how the ecological and just transition is being implemented through regeneration policies and instruments across a diverse range of European countries. The authors begin by offering a comprehensive discussion of urban regeneration as a pathway for achieving an ecological and just transition in Europe. They then analyze how EU and national policies shape the evolving frameworks of urban regeneration policy and governance. Finally, the book investigates the role of local governments in advancing transformative regeneration processes.
