3	This skill provides a comprehensive framework for planning and delivering
4	urban regeneration projects — from brownfield remediation through heritage-led
5	renewal to large-scale neighborhood revitalization. It draws on Urban Task
6	Force (Rogers Report), English Partnerships / Homes England guidance, ULI
7	regeneration best practice, UN-Habitat participatory upgrading methodology,
8	and lessons from 30+ global regeneration precedents.

10	Urban regeneration is fundamentally different from greenfield development:
11	it works within existing physical, social, economic, and political contexts
12	that constrain and shape every design decision. This skill addresses those
13	constraints directly.
