Description
This three-year research project aims to equip municipalities to integrate the circular economy into their land-use planning practices. By articulating the dimensions of urban planning with the principles of circularity, it aims to rethink approaches to urban planning, infrastructure, public services and public policy. The aim is to develop diagnostic tools, urban planning criteria and specialized public policy instruments adapted to territorial realities. In this way, the project aims to make the circular economy a transformative lever for more resilient, sustainable cities that are consistent with local issues.
