Eco-Reurbanization and Regenerative Design in Arid Climate Conditions: Transformation of the Architectural Environment of Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article explores the concept of eco-reurbanization as a tool for adapting the urban environment of Uzbekistan to the challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization. Against the backdrop of increasing building density in megacities such as Tashkent, a decline in air quality and a reduction of green areas are being observed. The study substantiates a transition from harm-minimization strategies to regenerative design, in which architecture functions as a “living ecosystem” that replenishes natural resources.
