Abstract

Urban regeneration (UR) has emerged as a comprehensive term to describe strategies that seek to address challenges of urbanization and work towards related sustainability goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda. This article presents a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks in Denmark and Italy that relates to fostering UR, thereby informing the developing definition of the concept UR, with knowledge about international and European legislation. This research identifies 9 key dimensions that shape the effectiveness and efficiency. The study highlights that an integrated approach addressing all 9 aspects is essential to positioning UR as a truly transformative process, capable of rethinking cities as sustainable, resilient spaces. The analysis concludes by emphasizing the importance of a coordinated framework across member states to realise the full potential of UR in the European context, thereby providing valuable insights and leverage for policymakers and legislators in efforts to promote sustainable cities.
