麻豆传媒 and architects team up for more circular cities
Global use of materials has reached 100 billion tons a year, outpacing population growth. This trend is putting us on track to consume 2.3 planets by 2040. Shifting from a take-make-waste to a circular economy is critical to preserve the Earth鈥檚 limited resources and cut carbon emissions.
Cities are at the forefront of the shift to a low-carbon and circular economy, changing the way resources are used to build a future that works for people and the planet.
The construction sector is essential to make cities more circular. But no single organization can get there alone.
That鈥檚 why at this year鈥檚 , which focused on 鈥淐ooperation in a Fragmented World,鈥 we gathered renowned architects to accelerate circular construction together.
, , and identified four opportunities to fast track the shift to circular cities:
- Designing buildings with change of use in mind
- Building smarter and wiser
- Accelerating low-carbon construction
- Driving urban density
鈥溌槎勾 is making a great effort to lead the architectural industry to a greener, better and more responsive future 鈥 as MAD Architects we feel honored to be part of this movement.鈥
