Circular Cities
Seminar SU Vertiefung
In the context of accelerating climate change, cities have to adapt and develop new strategies in order to ensure an efficient use of resources, resilience and quality of life for its inhabitants. With the building industry being responsible for up around 30% of emissions and around half of waste production in Germany, the integration of new planning and building practices are vital.
In recent years, circularity practices have emerged as one form of reacting to finite resources as well as offering opportunities to rethink established organizational patterns and build more livable neighbourhoods. In 2020 the European Commission amended the action plan for the Circular Economy (CEAP).
Guest speakers from various fields of research and practice impart their expertise in lectures and subsequent discussion. The course aims at giving a general understanding of the concept of circular urban systems and strategies and their potential for sustainable urban transformation.
