This third event of the stand-up innovation event series focussed on cities as incubators for circular solutions and was part of the global “Circular Cities Week” happening worldwide from October 28th till November 3rd, 2019. 3 innovative speakers highlighted different aspects of circular cities.
Cities have always been breeding grounds for new forms of societal and lifestyle concepts, and offer ever-increasing room for innovation. With the accelerated migratory trends into the cities and the increasing emergence of mega-cities, it has become more important than ever to plan sensibly for healthy and sustainable cities. As hubs of human and economic capacity, cities must be more than centers of consumption and waste, but active cogs in a greater circular economy.
