Recent studies have also shown a positive impact thus calling for integrated governance of social-ecological However, there are only a few projects that focus on the integrated governance of a social-ecological system with highly focused on human-centric design rather than on an eco-centric perspective everywhere at any time and may allow a more regenerative design by taking into account all the components of an ecosystem and their interactions.FROM HUMAN TO ECO-CENTRIC PERSPECTIVESin which rights and duties are only attributed to humans.

This new paradigm is embodied in the Sustainable-Restorative-Regenerative Sustainable represents an old anthropocentric viewpoint that is focused on limiting negative environmental impacts. Restorative design highlights an approach to restore eco-, social and economic systems to a healthy state, and the new paradigm represented by the Regenerative approach, In the next section, three pilot projects explore indoor and outdoor human well-being, comfort and health in parallel to the ComfortSenseHOME (Human Observations Meta-Environment) explored the direct interactions between occupants and the building to improve indoor comfort and First Life tested a implications for well-being and health.MOBILE CROWD SENSING APPROACH (MCS) ComfortSenseusers’ comfort while reducing energy consumption by exploiting a machine-learning algorithm to correlate Objective variables feedback from users.

ComfortSenseby interacting with the building or the environment, can control the environmental conditions, such as the indoor temperature or the relative humidity. In particular, ComfortSense linked users’ feedback to time by exploiting the smartness of collective intelligence, i.e. a 87Figure 15six layers allow interactions among occupants, the building and the energy management.

Once the pressure points actors’ comfort, well-being and health. and plan to redesign them in a regenerative way by taking citizens, such as small court gardens or fountains, which have underestimated from the decision-makers’ point of view. Thus, thanks to this approach, a more Regenerative city, able to co-where positive and negative transformations as declared by the citizens, are highlighted and geo-localised to support the decision-making process of urban planners and policymakers.TransformationPositive transformationNegative transformationNo transformationFigure 19map shows the current transformation occurring in a place within the City of Turin, as perceived by the citizens engaged within the project.
