Sustainable Urban Systems and Circular Cities of the Future

Eva Gladek shares her vision on circular cities and the circular economy, particularly on the urban systems approach adopted by Metabolic.

Starting with the development of De Ceuvel – Amsterdam’s sustainable business park and ‘cleantech playground’ – Metabolic has driven numerous circular urban development projects across the Netherlands and worldwide. Based on recent work with the city of Rotterdam and the city of Charlotte in the United States, Ms Gladek shares strategies for transforming cities to a circular economy – and the integral next steps that cities need to take to realize the transition.
