      abstract = {In this book, the author tests a regenerative-adaptive  pattern language theory towards investigating the  possibilities of a holistic, integrated design and planning  method for sustainable development that incorporates the  principles of regenerative design, as well as an adaptive  pattern language that re-establishes our wholeness with  nature, and considers the vulnerabilities of a changing  landscape. The book examines an integral approach to  contemporary theories of planning and design that explores  the human-nature relationship patterns in social and  spatial interconnections, between people and their natural  environments. The interconnectedness of human and natural  systems is used to scaffold possible solutions to address  key environmental and sustainability issues that  specifically address the need for patterns of behaviour  that acknowledge the duality of 'man and nature. In 12  chapters, the book presents a holistic,  regenerative-adaptive pattern language that encapsulates  how communities can better appreciate landscape change  under future climate effects, and acknowledges the  importance to adapt to patterns of change of place and the  environment and therefore inform the communities responses  for sustainable development. The application of the  regenerative-adaptive pattern language was tested along the  Great Ocean Road region of the Victorian coast in  Australia. The concluding chapters argues that for human  settlements and cities to be resilient and sustainable, we  must understand the interconnected patterns of human-built  environments and natural systems, and how we function in a  social-spatial dimension with these. The book is intended  for practitioners and academic scholars with interest in  sustainable development, regenerative design, pattern  languages, biophilia, settlement planning, and climate cha},
