ReGen Villages: Development of Design Features & Software Applications for Integrating Regenerative Lifeline Resource Systems in Residential Communities

To sustain life in the built environment, infrastructural resource systems have been designed and constructed to provide a regional population with “lifeline” resource units such as food (KCals), communications (MHz), energy (MWhs), water (MGDs) and to also extract waste (tons).  These systems are essential for dwelling in the built environment, yet are structurally and operationally independent of one another, with some nodal exceptions. 

ReGen Villages is a Stanford University spin-off company founded as an impact investment for building regenerative and resilient neighborhoods at the nexus of decentralized lifeline systems (food, water, energy and waste-to-resource management).
