2nd International Conference on Urban Growth and the Circular Economy

With its roots in environmental economics, the idea of the circular economy is to implement the life cycle of products, services, waste, materials and energy. The concept needs to be embedded not only in the original design but also in all process phases and during production, which ought to be as efficient as possible. The achievement of the goals proposed by the circular economy requires the cooperation of the community, as well as technological changes and advances. The need to base suitable development on the environmental, economic and social points of view, demands an integrated approach to solve the city problems including planning and development.
