Abstract Sustainable development for cities is insufficient for making crucial developmental changes within the current challenges and climate crisis. This research proposes a regenerative approach as a holistic strategy for development. The main objective of this paper is to propose a new approach for enhancing outdoor spaces at the MSA campus, with an emphasis on the utilization of essential components to begin the transition from a sustainability-focused to a thriveable mindset. This objective is pursued through a two-part methodology. In order to determine leverage points for regenerative development (RD), the first part includes a literature review, an investigation of a selected MSA outdoor space, and evaluation criteria for RD. The second part presents a developmental framework consisting of three key levels The first level involves MSA campus initiatives that implement the SPIRALS framework. The second level clarifies sustainable campus landscape. The third level presents a proposal of an elementry design of the selected MSA univeristy outdoor space enhancing users' mindsets and behavior. The results of this study demonstrate the benefits of using a regenerative development strategy in the planning of outdoor areas in educational settings. | ||||
