Public debate series
Programme academic year 2023-2024
The Circular Built Environment Hub will organise a public debate every two months. Each session will be structured around a specific topic. The underlying idea is that we work and learn together in an attempt to foster new collaborations and develop innovative approaches for a just transition to a circular built environment.
Upcoming debates

Future topics
- Methods, Tools, and Legal Instruments for Value Web Synergies: In this session, we will explore novel ways of fostering synergies within the circular economy through value webs. Rather than traditional business cases, we will delve into methods that optimise value chain efficiency while strongly emphasising collaboration and shared values.
- Beyond Standard LCA: Rethinking Success Measurement: This session will challenge conventional notions of success measurement in the circular built environment. We will delve into value-based metrics that go beyond standard Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ensuring a more holistic evaluation of sustainability and impact.
- Navigating Resource Resilience vs. Resource Nationalism: The balance between strategic resource resilience and nationalism is a pressing challenge. This session will explore the values and strategies that can guide us towards equitable and sustainable resource management in the circular built environment.
