How do we transform cities and societies together?
Increased circularity – a vital consideration to tackle the climate crisis, prevent biodiversity loss and address crucial social needs. By providing tools and knowledge required for the transformation towards circularity, we empower cities to progress towards net zero and to become leaders in the circular economy.

Did you know?

  • The global economy is calculated as being only 8.6% circular
  • A city the size of Paris must be built every week for the next 30 years to accommodate global population growth.
  • A circular economy holds particular promise for achieving multiple sustainable development goals

Global and local initiatives will be organised during the year to inspire, and to open up for discussions about sustainable urban planning.

We aim to bring together experts to build better societies of the future. Share our knowledge and yours through Urban Insight.

Together with experts, scientists and the public, we will discuss the transition towards greater sustainability and circularity in urban areas and highlight key steps we must take to achieve net zero cities and societies.

Circular construction – an opportunity we can’t waste

To scale up the impacts of greater circularity, we need to shift away from individual projects to a systems mindset. This report identifies 3 key trends. It presents case studies on circular activities and puts into focus the circular use of materials and digital tools, and identifies the steps taken to accomplish greater circularity.
