ASSET Webinar
Meet and Learn: Boosting the circular built environment in the Eurodelta
Experience the surge in demand for space within the Circular Built Environment (CBE)! Think vibrant circular building hubs, efficient storage for reclaimed materials, sorting facilities for reclaimed materials, and cutting-edge spaces for the development of bio-based materials—all clamoring for their place in our evolving landscape. This transition isn’t just about physical spaces; it’s about laying the groundwork for a sustainable future.
About Meet and Learn:
Join us for an enlightening series of 18 lectures, where the partners of the European Interreg project Asset will engage in interactive discussions, exploring the evolving spatial demands of this transformative movement. Discover inspiring best practices ready for widespread adoption and upscaling, paving the way for a greener, more efficient tomorrow! Our lineup of invited speakers is diverse, spanning various fields such as construction, logistics, port operations, freight transport, and spatial planning, representing both the private and public sectors.
About the lecture:
This ASSET meet and learn on Friday 28 June 2024 we have Dr Kai Böhme, Spatial Foresight, Germany as our guest speaker.
Spatial Foresight is a private consultancy and independent think tank in the area of European territorial policies and research. Foresight encompasses a range of approaches that combine strategic analysis, prospective forward thinking and process oriented dialogical work.
What could be the territorial consequences if Europe had a place based, circular economy? It is often argued that Europe’s territorial structure under a place based circular economy would differ from the one we know today. It would imply dramatic changes for all parts of Europe and also affect urbanization and territorial balance. At a European level, the differences between strong socio-economic areas and the lagging regions may decline under a place based circular economy. Or it bring completely different territorial implications.
About the speaker:
Kai Böhme, founder and director of Spatial Foresight, specialized in European regional and territorial research and policies, international comparative studies in the fields of regional development policies, spatial planning, and in the territorial impacts of sector policies.
About Asset
ASSET, the visionary European Interreg project (‘A Spatial Strategy for the EuroDelta, boosting the circular transition of the built environment’), unites cities, regions, research agencies, and universities in a common quest for innovation. Together, we are accelerating the circular transition of the Eurodelta, harnessing the power of collaboration to carve out a sustainable future. At the heart of our discussions lies the pivotal issue of the Circular Transition—scaling up and seizing the collaborative opportunities to create the perfect spatial conditions for this revolutionary shift while minimizing land use. From individual buildings to the vast expanse of the Eurodelta, we’ll explore best practices that pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.
Partner:
Under the leadership of Amsterdam, a pioneer in circular transition, leading cities and regions such as Brussels, South Holland Province, Krefeld, Duisburg and The Hague join forces with the Association of Deltametropolis, RWTH Aachen, TU Delft, and the European network of metropolitan areas (Metrex). Moreover, over 40 private and public entities from across the Eurodelta have joined as associated partners.
