A Spatial Strategy for the EuroDelta, boosting a circular builT environment for Interreg North-West Europe

Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) project that focuses on understanding the concept of a circular built environment (CBE) by finding innovative spatial solutions through collaboration at various scales within the Eurodelta. 

The project will develop a strategy and action plan for a circular transformation of the built environment in the Eurodelta (i.e. the Rhine, Scheldt and Meuse delta conurbations) focusing on the spatial-economic aspects. The project supports the local and regional governmental partners to establish a jump in scale from urban and regional circular strategies to a larger macro-regional spatial perspective, and serves as a stepping stone for further elaboration in subsequent projects.

TU Delft will facilitate a cross-scale atlas of circular best practice, engage students in the and education into the spatial vision making for a future built Environment and co-facilitate local, regional and supra-regional strategy workshops.
