The Regenerative Development research line explores the regenerative capacity of territories, economies, and societies, leveraging new technologies such as artificial intelligence and diverse tools to drive transformative change. Its primary goal is to address changes in human living conditions within cities, evaluate the resilience of places and societies through the preservation of the environment, and safeguard historical, cultural, and natural heritage. This approach considers the impact of public policies and development strategies, including the integration of migrants and the mitigation of social inequalities, such as gender and economic disparities, which characterize a rapidly evolving global landscape. The project also emphasizes fostering cooperation between municipalities with shared interests, ensuring that development strategies integrate diverse spaces and promote the transfer of knowledge.

The dissemination of research outcomes and participation in events fosters dialogue between the Institute, the academic community, and key stakeholders. These interactions aim to advance actions and policies that build resilient societies with regenerative frameworks, aligning with the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda.
