BK Talks: Reinventing the wheel? Circularity and the built environment
On 1 October, Arjan van Timmeren (Professor of Environmental Technology & Design) will steer a discussion about the ongoing conversation that, understanding the city as an organism, proposes, for over a decade, to change our linear society into a circular one, closing urban inflows and outflows into cycles.
Panelists will discuss the following questions:
- What are the technologies that help us sense the city?
- How to properly use the available data about waste?
- How to turn our cities into true mines where all waste is reused?
- How does circularity contribute to a socially sustainable urban development and regeneration?
- What are the social implications of the so-called doughnut city?
- What is the role of the citizen in the fabrication of a circular model of city?...
Panelists
Ellen van Bueren, Darinka Czischke, Pablo van der Lugt, Arnout Sabbe, Rusne Sileryte, Alexander Wandl.
Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award
After the panel discussion, recorded interviews with the winners of the Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award 2019-2020 will be on show.
