The Danish website CSR.dk has published an article dedicated to the new report Regenerativt byggeri (Regenerative Construction), produced by the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV) with contributions from 50 experts including engineers, architects, entrepreneurs and researchers, entitled New Report: How to Build Regeneratively, which features Bosco Verticale in Milan, designed by Boeri Studio, as a key example.
The report has a clear ambition: to redefine the founding principles of the construction sector along regenerative lines — meaning not merely reducing environmental harm, but actively contributing to the restoration of ecosystems and human wellbeing. Its findings are addressed to Denmark’s future policymakers, with the aim of shaping the next version of the national building code, expected during 2026.
Among the report’s contributors, Mikkel K. Kragh, Associate Director at the engineering and design firm Arup — the studio who worked on the engineering of the Bosco Verticale in Milan — emphasises that the current paradigm is no longer sustainable and that the regenerative effects of architecture must be given tangible economic value.
The report outlines seven lines of action and five concrete recommendations, with targets set for 2075: the complete phase-out of fossil-based construction materials, a maximum distance of 100 metres from living nature for every resident, and a requirement for all buildings to provide physical habitats for at least three species.
