REPAIR - Resource Management in Peri-Urban Areas: Going beyond Urban Metabolism
Summary
REPAiR applies – for the first time – a geodesign approach including waste and resource management in order to reveal the local space-specific challenges of waste and resource management using life cycle analyses (LCA) and Urban Metabolism. Campagna (2014) defines geodesign as ‘an integrated process informed by environmental sustainability appraisal, which includes project conceptualisation, analysis, projection and forecasting, diagnosis, alternative design, impact simulation and assessment, and which involves a number of technical, political and social actors in collaborative decision-making’. The advances of geodesign compared to older landscape and environmental planning approaches are threefold. It allows for (1) an extensive use of digital data in design, evaluation and communication; (2) gives a prominent role to design, by developing spatial solutions to specific place-based (genius loci) problems; and (3) its transdisciplinary nature calls for collaboration.
