Hacking the street - regenerative design principles for the existing urban street section and public realm
Hacking the street - regenerative design principles for the existing urban street section and public realm
According to the UN, two out of every three people on the planet will live in cities by 2050 (UN-DESA, 2019). For sustainable development, cities must dynamically control and restrict their growth, save biodiversity and ecosystems, and at the same time address housing needs. Cities must simultaneously lessen their influence on the microclimate and increase their resistance to climate change. Brownfield site infill and urban regeneration, which revitalise the neighbourhood and environment, are one solution.
The design project incorporates regenerative techniques and natural components into the existing street section of Wallis Road in London, UK, a former industrial site, based on environmental studies, working with the terrain through measures of soil bioremediation and flood resilience.
The developed prototype is a sustainable addition that adapts to the local environment and enhances the microclimate of the neighbourhood, pedestrian comfort, and ecological regeneration while reducing the effects of climate change on the urban population.

Abstract
According to the UN, two out of every three people on the planet will live in cities by 2050 (UN-DESA, 2019). For sustainable development, cities must dynamically control and restrict their growth, save biodiversity and ecosystems, and at the same time address housing needs. Cities must simultaneously lessen their influence on the microclimate and increase their resistance to climate change. Brownfield site infill and urban regeneration, which revitalise the neighbourhood and environment, are one solution.
The design project incorporates regenerative techniques and natural components into the existing street section of Wallis Road in London, UK, a former industrial site, based on environmental studies, working with the terrain through measures of soil bioremediation and flood resilience.
The developed prototype is a sustainable addition that adapts to the local environment and enhances the microclimate of the neighbourhood, pedestrian comfort, and ecological regeneration while reducing the effects of climate change on the urban population.
