HOLCIM LTD 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's 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's why at this year's World Economic Forum, which focused on "Cooperation in a Fragmented World," we gathered renowned architects to accelerate circular construction together.
Dixon Junliang Lu, Shajay Bhooshan, William McDonough and Nicolas Laisné 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
