Syn(En)ergies in neighborhood regeneration. Al Safarat experimental laboratory in transition

Integrating the energy issue in the regeneration of neighborhoods influences the entire metabolism of the urban settlement. It opens up a reflection, within the disciplines of the project, on approaches, methods, and tools to make the energy transition operational in space. The complexity of the energy transition requires a holistic, multidisciplinary, and integrated approach to design, capable of addressing energy transition processes at the neighborhood scale. Through a method in which the landscape is interpreted as a complex techno-natural infrastructure, the Al Safarat neighborhood in Riyadh will be considered a possible experimental laboratory for the energy transition of the districts of the Gulf cities
