REPAiR - REsource Management in Peri-urban Areas

The TU Delft led trans departmental H2020 project REPAiR (REsource Management in Peri-urban Areas) aims to provide local and regional authorities with an innovative transdisciplinary open source geodesign decision support environment (GDSE) that integrates spatial development with the transition towards a circular economy, in six cities across Europe

The session will show the first results of:

- the integrated socio-spatial-flow analyses,
- the development of eco-innovative solutions to foster the CE transition,

- the challenges of governing circular economy initiatives in the Amsterdam metropolitan region;
- knowledge transfer across cases
- A life cycle assessment based spatial sustainability assessment framework.

13:00 to 13:30 Alexander Wandl’s (Urbanism – Scientific coordinator of REPAiR) presentation will focus on the different transdisciplinary methods developed and their first applications across cases.

13:30 – 14:00 Erwin Heurkens (MBE –Assistant Professor) will present specifically the Challenges of governing circular economy objectives within the Amsterdam metropolitan region.

14:00 - 15:00 Interactive session with the whole REPAiR team from the departments of Urbanism, Management of the Build environment and Architectural Engineering and Technology and Management of the Built Environment: You can test the prototype of the spatial decision support system as well as the activity-based-spatial material flow mapping tool, which allows to map waste and material flows generated by economic activities with an unprecedented spatial accuracy. Furthermore, you can discuss the Eco-innovative solutions which were co-developed in the peri-urban living Labs.
