Official Closing Circular City Week Celebration - Rethinking City Planning & Architecture

Circular City Week is about bringing people together, sharing solutions, and inspire local action. As to accelerate this mission, we are hosting a Circular City Week celebration, courtesy of our partners at The Williamsburg Hotel.

This will be a festive finale to a week of events, and a thought provoking start to your weekend. Inspirational talks will showcase how change can be brought about within architecture and urban planning. Especially how the circular economy can revolutionize value creation in the built environment, drive the use of new materials, be a guiding principle in city planning and advance innovative architecture.

We will provide the first two drinks and snacks. Attendees will also receive a year long online subscription to Renewable Matter, the international circular economy magazine.
