UrbanWINS webinar - to a circular economy  
Location : online
From: Wednesday 05 July 2017, 12:00
To: Wednesday 05 July 2017, 13:30

How can urban metabolism lead to a circular economy and a more sustainable future for cities?

Cities can be compared to living organisms that eat, digest and discard what is not needed. Understanding what resources are required to nourish the city activities, how these resources are used and what the flow of energy and materials is, and what kind of waste is produced can be useful for cities aiming to improve their strategies to prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle and manage waste.
