Abstract: Large regeneration and transformation projects generally include a longer timespan as an aspect that makes way for more uncertainty and unexpected changes. We introduce transformative resilience as a place-based approach that can help planners and practitioners adapt to changes and challenges in urban regeneration and can be used proactively to bring certain pliability into planning, implementing and decision-making processes. This allows for intermittent actions to regularly evaluate the outcomes and include the involvement of relevant parties. Based on findings from a comparative study carried out in Norway on two former industrial sites situated in historic cities undergoing transformation, we discuss how planners can prepare for unexpected and unforeseen challenges.
