3 | Regeneration “Today, regeneration […] typically involves the public space of the city or the spatial ‘resources’ that could become open space through a project […]; the welfare space or the diffused territorial equipment that could be renewed like that […]; and the residential space of retrofitting housing stock in its different articulations and complementary extensions.”

‘engineering’ resilience as forms of recovery and efficiency ≠ ‘ecological’ resilience as the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks (Walker et al., 2004).

// A. Colucci

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The term resilience is used in many disciplines with different meanings. We will adopt the ecological concept of resilience, which epitomises the capacity of a system to adapt itself in response to the action of a force, achieving a state of equilibrium different from the original (White, 2011).â&#x20AC;?
