ABSTRACT
Regenerative design and development is based on the urban regeneration "which seeks to bring about lasting improvements in condition of an area that has been subject to change". This chapter talks about the Playa Viva project, how the regenerative development and design process can grow the potential of the whole system and create a culture of co-evolution. Regenesis is assisting the school not just with place-based aspects of local food production, but also how to include this in the curriculum. The master plan presentation was a success and achieved buy-in from the group. The regenerative paradigm, took it to another level by looking at the role of humans in this relationship as co-evolutionary partners, existing in symbiotic relationship with the land and communities they inhabit. A regenerative project aims to set conditions in place which will ensure ongoing co-evolution and mutually beneficial integration of human and natural systems.
