Content
This unit establishes the fundamental knowledge to understand circular city systems with focus on the design and implementation of urban environments that prioritise sustainable, regenerative practices. Circular Cities are characterized by their ability to minimize waste and maximize the reuse of resources, creating a more efficient and resilient city system. The unit examines the various components that comprise a circular city viewed and understood through three distinct interdependent scalar lenses: micro (individual buildings, products, and household behaviours), meso (neighbourhoods, districts, and local circular networks) and macro (city-wide infrastructure, regional ecosystems, and global connections).
Throughout this unit you are encouraged to engage in critical thinking and problem-solving, examining case studies of circular cities from around the world and evaluating their successes and challenges.
