48 governments and market parties join City Deal Circular and Conceptual Building
On Thursday afternoon, April 8th, 48 new, motivated partners joined the City Deal Circular and Conceptual Building during the Innovation Expo. This brings the total to 86 partners.
In the City Deal Circular and Conceptual Building, cities, provinces, central government, construction companies, knowledge institutions and umbrella organizations work side by side to realize joint ambitions in the field of sustainable building.
Tough tasks
One million homes will have to be built in the coming years to meet the demand for living space. At the same time, we are faced with the task of doing this in a circular and climate-neutral way, using renewable raw materials and reducing CO2 and nitrogen.
Ambitious
The central ambition of the participants in this City Deal is therefore to make the construction sector a driving force for the circular economy. In the coming years a lot will have to change in the way construction is done and the materials with which this is done.
Innovations
The partners will work together on industrial, demountable and biobased construction. New valuation methods are being sought to make circular and demountable construction affordable and financeable. In this way, the construction sector contributes to a sustainable future for the Netherlands and innovation and sustainable construction techniques contribute to a valuable building stock.
This City Deal shows that circular and conceptual construction contribute to the affordability and progress of the construction agenda. Moreover, it can give a positive impulse to our landscape and help combat climate change.
City Deals
In City Deals, municipalities, central government, private parties, knowledge institutions and other organizations work together on an equal footing on innovative solutions for complex urban challenges. The City Deal concept originated six years ago in the Agenda City program of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. 27 City Deals have now been signed on various multidisciplinary issues, such as electric shared mobility, customization in the social domain, climate adaptation and urban food policy. City Deals have been identified as powerful examples of administrative innovation in various studies by, among others, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the NSOB. In 2019 City Deals was awarded a Best Practice certificate during the European Public Sector Awards. Read more about City Deals.
