The Urban Agenda partnerships on the circular economy and on the sustainable use of land and nature-based solutions decided to work together because the reuse of abandoned or underused buildings and spaces emerged as a relevant topic for both partnerships. For this reason, we agreed to make joint efforts to develop a shared handbook merging the different perspectives, from national, through regional and FUA (functional urban area), to local level. The topic “urban regeneration and reuse of buildings” presented in this handbook covers SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) and SDG 15 (Life on land) concerning land saving.
