Introduction- Regenerative Developments
During the last century the global of industrialisation has caused
some un-wanted negative impacts on human socio-economic
behaviours as well as the global environment. Although he
‘Sustainability Concept’ (also introduced as ‘green design’ concept
in many literatures) has tried to address the resource consumptions
(such as energy, water, food etc.) and preventation of the further
socio-economic and environmental impacts, the previous one-
century damages are still existing. his in turn, has translated into a
further solution recently introduced as ‘Regeneration’ or ‘Regenerative
Developments’ (RD) [1,2] . he main challenge of RD is to provide
and to consider the potentials for ‘Renew’, ‘Re-birth’ and ‘recover’ the
previously caused damages to human socio-economic relations as well
as the environment. Accordingly, the regeneration concept intends on
further than ‘generation-consumption’ systems (Figure 1). herefore,
in order to be regenerative, a system must provide the factors such
as ‘being sustainable for today’, ‘being sustainable for tomorrow’, and
‘recovering the previously caused damages on economy, society and
environment’.
herefore, a set of “resource-related strategies within cycles – from
nature and back to nature” have been proposed as follows:
y “Produce: resources are renewable and are sourced or generated
either onsite or locally.
y Use: resources are used efectively in satisfying human needs.
y Recycle: resources are used for multiple purposes and beneits.
Replenish: rather than diminish natural capital during the
production of resources and assimilation of ‘waste’, replenishes and
builds natural capital.”[4,5].
Regenerative Design considers a much more complex set of
potential exchanges associated with both Net Zero and Net Positive
systems. Accordingly, the impacts are being assessed in the following
ways [5]
Grid-connected impacts: includes all inter-connections of the
system/s with their surrounding system/s and neighbourhoods and
exchanges of energy, water, wastes etc. “Grid connection is a necessary
and core requirement of net zero/[positive] energy buildings” [5].
y Waste scavenging: includes spotting the wastes and problems
within the existing systems and infrastructures to prevent
further damages. his process considers the improvements of

Abstract
Over the recent ive years, the Regenerative Design concept has considerably intended to understand the
factors of recovering the environmental and socioeconomic damages of the last-century global industrialization.
Moreover, it has attempted to consider the evolutions within and out-with its assessing system/s.
As a short communication, this paper attempts to argue the fundamentals to develop precise computerized
Evolution Analysis Systems (EAS), in order to address the future identiication requirements, of Regenerative
Developments.
Therefore, as an interdisciplinary discussion, the paper argues the applicable systems to develop evolutionary
algorithms, with a speciic focus in Genetic Algorithms (GA), as one of the most eficient approaches to for evolutionary
quantiication. Furthermore, the paper introduces the Second Life approach as a signiicant example of evolutionary
computation, to achieve better EASs, as a foundation of reliable Regenerative Analysis Systems (RAS).
Indeed, the paper suggests, a critical evolution-based Regenerative Analysis approach, as a basis to develop
future Regenerative Analysis and Regenerative Design software.
