The RegenerAction podcast

This episode highlights the importance of effective communication in driving urban regeneration initiatives. InnoHub’s Inés Belda explains how to tailor messages to different audiences, from private actors to citizens. For businesses, the key is to highlight the economic and social benefits of sustainability, such as increased property values and improved brand image. For citizens, on the other hand, it is essential to connect emotionally, showing how a greener and healthier urban environment improves their quality of life.

Welcome to the fifth episode of the RegenerAction Podcast! In this episode, we explore an expanded and forward-thinking concept of collaboration: Planet, People, Public, Private Partnerships (PPPPP). Our guests from ARTERIA_LAB share insights into how this holistic approach prioritizes balance, fairness, and accountability in all forms of human activity. Join us as Daniela highlights the essential connection between sustainability’s four pillars—economic, environmental, social, and cultural—and explains how creativity and collective awareness can drive impactful change.

In this episode of the RegenerAction Podcast, we dive into the Digital Sphere, exploring the innovative ways technology can transform urban planning and community engagement. Featuring insights from experts at IRI, a French research institute, we examine the potential of Minetest, an open-source digital tool, to empower citizens—both young and old—to actively participate in co-designing their cities. Learn how this accessible platform fosters intergenerational dialogue, encourages political engagement, and bridges the gap between digital innovation and real-world impact. This episode showcases the power of technology to shape the cities of tomorrow by putting communities at the heart of the urban design process.

In this third episode, we shift our focus to the Social Sphere. Join Aušrinė as she interviews representatives from Urbani Separe, the Croatian partner that led the development of the Urban Community Builder profile and competency framework. Discover the skills, qualities, and levels of expertise needed to foster thriving communities dedicated to creating greener, more sustainable cities. Learn how these communities can take shape, overcome challenges, and make a tangible impact on urban life—from the streets of Rijeka to cities across Europe. This episode highlights the power of collaboration and the vital role of people in reclaiming and reimagining urban spaces. 

In this episode of the RegenerAction Podcast, we dive deep into the Green Sphere, exploring how sustainable urban communities are created by integrating nature into cityscapes. Join Aušrinė and guest speaker Sara Simeone from Materahub as they discuss innovative approaches to urban regeneration, from spatial mapping and sustainable development practices to the revolutionary idea of granting nature its own legal personality. Discover the insights gained through the Living Labs,  and why empowering communities is key to greener, more livable cities. With examples and lessons from the Erasmus+ project, this episode is a must-listen for anyone!
