Guide on Urban Regeneration and Demolition Footprint: ready in early June

In the first weeks of June, we will launch our new Guide on Urban Regeneration and Footprint on our website. With this publication, we aim to change the way demolition is perceived, highlighting its essential role in creating more sustainable, resilient, and functional urban spaces. Discover everything about its launch.

The guide was made in the Urban Regeneration Working Group, and it explores how demolition can support urban regeneration, contribute to the circular economy, and reduce environmental impact through the reuse and recycling of materials. Divided into three main sections, it will cover the strategic importance of demolition, its environmental, social, and economic impacts, and the concept of embodied carbon.

We have designed this guide for public administrations, developers, architects, urban planners, and all professionals involved in construction and sustainability. With that in mind, it also includes practical recommendations to ensure that demolition contractors are properly integrated into projects.

Bear in mind that it will be available online and hard copy during the EDA Annual Convention 2025.
