Project: Research

Project Details

Description

The project aims to develop, implement, and replicate a series of innovative urban planning approaches and instruments, aimed at facilitating closing the loops of urban material and resource flows and promoting the transition to a circular economy (CE), thereby reducing the environmental footprint, increasing regenerative capacities, and stimulating new business opportunities and job creation in European cities.
The project is financed by EU Horizon2020 and involves 27 partners from 6 cities across Europe: Roskilde/Høje Taastrup (DK), Porto (P), Serville (S), Apeldoorn (NL), Mikkeli (F) and Bodø (N).
