Metabolic thinking in the built environment and cities (Nico Schouten, Green Building consultant at Metabolic)

In collaboration with local partners and funded by the Urban Studies Foundation, Metabolism of Cities organises a three-part seminar series in 2019 to further the debate around the uptake of urban metabolism in policy and practice. The seminars will each be full-day events (1 day) and will take place in Cape Town (South Africa), Beijing (China) and Brussels (Belgium). Each event will be structured in a similar way and involve city officials, practitioners, and academics. The seminars will have strongly local content, but lessons and insights from every location will be shared at each subsequent seminar.

The event in Brussels, Belgium took place on November 26th, 2019. 

Funding for this seminar series is provided by the Urban Studies Foundation Seminar Series Award. The local partners were the Chair of Circular Economy and Urban Metabolism - ULB, Circular Flanders, OVAM, UN Environment and Persepective.Brussels.
