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 19 July 2024 we have Carola Hein, Professor TU Delf, Netherlands as our guest speaker.
Taking a comprehensive, mapping based approach, Port City Atlas visualizes 100 port city territories located on four seas and connected through shared waters. It provides a foundation for comparative analysis beyond case study approaches that are often locked into national contexts, select languages or disciplinary approaches. Conceived as a work of reference, the book makes the case for a sea-based approach to the understanding and design of Europe.
About the speaker:
Carola Hein is Professor History of Architecture and Urban Planning at Delft University of Technology and Professor at Leiden and Erasmus University. and director of the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus PortCityFutures Centre. She holds the UNESCO Chair of Water, Ports and Historic Cities and leads the LDE PortCityFutures Centre. She has published widely in the field of architectural, urban and planning history, tying historical analysis to contemporary development. Her recent (co-)edited books include: Port City Atlas (2023), Oil Spaces (2021), Urbanisation of the Sea (2020), Adaptive Strategies for Water Heritage (2020), The Routledge Planning History Handbook (2018).
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.
