Within the built environment, a shift is occurring in the sustainable agenda from a narrow focus on improving building energy performance and minimisation of environmental impacts, to a broader framework. The latest is defined as Regenerative, as it embraces and adapts the built environment and its infrastructures to climate change, placing the urban ecosystem and the people at the core of the design task. Whereas the theoretical level of Regenerative Design is defined, the potential benefits of nature-based solutions and technologies are seldom exploited in practice.

L’intelligenza artificiale produce una forma di conoscenza attiva che di fatto orienta e definisce la condizione spaziale e temporale della vita collettiva e individuale. È sul piano dei processi e delle qualità delle interazioni che si definiscono le caratteristiche dei modelli organizzativi; sul peso dei componenti che si orienta la governance dello sviluppo urbano.

Transition towards low-carbon societies requires multi-scalar and coordinated actions. It implies top-down and bottom-up processes of translation connecting supra-national regulations and targets, with policies and dis- courses enacted at the national and local level. However, there is a dearth of research analysing the coordination among different scales. The present paper explores how alternative views associated with energy sustainability are translated, supported or resisted, across different scales. Data were collected at a national, regional and local level in Italy.
