Article from the Guardian

The piece of news I selected is called "Regenerative urban development as a prerequisite for the future of cities". This article is about notion of sustainability and how we are thinking the cities in the today's world. For this we must change the concept of sustainability that until this moment is vague and unambitious and transform in concrete things, for example and is the topic for this article, the regenerative urban development.  I think that the problem of the concept of sustainability is in the notion of tomorrow, of to keep and to take care resources for the future. This idea prevent to watch the problems today. In other words, the problem isn't in the concept or his intentions, but in that the humans don't act for to progress and to change.
This type of development (regenerative) aims to working in the progress and "actively working towards regenerating soils, forest and watercourses"This process is a step by step, It is to change the shape of the cities, renovating old builds and built new constructions with efficient and renewable energies etc. This article puts the example of Wilhelmsburg, a district of Hamburg of 55.000 residents that has regenerate the city. Introducing new technology and inversion for to transform the city right now. 

The Nazi Bunker converted in a plan of renewable energy. 

The author of this article shows that the change have a politic side, It is the most important thing that we must to change for to make a regenerative cities, the public, the private and civil population must agree for a best present and future.
