Contextual Quote
"We are not just talking about “financing nature,” but about coordinating multiple forms of capital within a single system: natural, social, cultural, intellectual, material, financial, and digital capital. A SEZ does not create value solely through tax incentives or regulatory flexibility. It creates value by designing the environment where these forms of capital combine, are validated, and are transformed into concrete economic flows."
- Next Gen et al. [2]
Description
Franz Tunez et al. :
"Próspera already operates as a ZEDE (Special Economic Development Zone): a special jurisdiction with its own legal framework that allows for experimentation with new economic, regulatory, and governance rules. Within this framework, different projects can create districts or communities with their own operating rules, always under the legal umbrella of the jurisdiction.
The Special Regenerative District will function precisely like this: an institutional ecosystem within Próspera, where those of us who participate in its foundation can design a specific layer of regenerative market, decentralized governance, and verifiable metrics.
...
We are not creating a new jurisdiction from scratch; we are building a new specialized institutional layer within an existing jurisdiction, specifically designed to enable this kind of innovation."

Discussion
Changuito et al. :
"Our central thesis: to unite two historical forces:
The question is no longer whether these experiments will happen. The real question is where and how we can bring them together to redesign markets, governance, and capital without having to reform an entire country or the global system itself.
That is where our hypothesis emerges, simple yet powerful: if we combine Special Economic Zones (SEZs) with regenerative markets, can we build a new economic infrastructure capable of transforming extractive systems into regenerative ones?
We call that Regenerative Impact Special Economic Zones (RISEZ).
The institutional laboratory: Special Economic Zones
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are one of the most relevant institutional innovation mechanisms of the last century. UNCTAD registered around 5,400 zones in 147 economies, and emphasizes that its importance lies not only in attracting investment, but in enabling differentiated frameworks of incentives, regulation and infrastructure to accelerate new development cycles."
