What is Circular Economy?
An economy that is restorative and regenerative by design

Circular Economy & Business Benefits

Drivers: • EU policy and enablers•Competitiveness•Climate change and urban metabolism •Renewal and growth
Approach: • Long term transformation strategy•Vision•Roadmap•Open innovation approach - Living Labs,
business, incubators•New governance• Incentive and finance structures•Circular and Smart design.
Example: Amsterdam City Scan – from vision to action•Mapping material flows and value• Evaluating and selecting chains•Visioning•Project selection and actions

Circular Cities & Climate Emergency – Completing the Picture • Systems approach to emissions
reductions
• Moves beyond extractive linear
system
• Traditional measures address 55% of
emissions
• Remaining 45% comes from products
and entrenched system
• Transformation achieved by
substantially increasing the use rates of
assets and materials, such as buildings
and vehicles, and recycling the materials
used to make them
• In the food system, using regenerative
agriculture practices, designing out
waste along the whole value chain
serve - sequester carbon in the soil and
avoid emissions.
Causeway Cities - Circular Economy at any scale

Circular Construction - Starting with the Design Brief
©Jacobs 2020 24
• Rethink the system design – driving the service and/or product need
• Design for reuse • Reuse existing asset• Recover materials and products from site or another site• Share materials or products for onward reuse
• Design for infrastructure optimisation• Design for longevity• Design for flexibility• Design for adaptability • Design for assembly, disassembly or recover
• Standardisation or longevity
• Servicing and leasing
• Design and construct responsibly• Use low impact materials• Use recycled content or secondary material• Design or waste• Reduce construction impacts

Geodesign – Rethinking Cities The Art and Science of Placemaking
Geodesign is a powerful planning method that uses
stakeholder input and spatial analytics to show the
possible impact of alternative design scenarios.
• Collaborative, Systems Approach
• Cross Disciplinary
• Values- and Data-Driven
• Context Sensitive Design
With geodesign, decision-makers can explore any number
of scenarios to design smart, sustainable, and more
resilient communities.
