Скачать или смотреть Planning for a Network of Circular Economy Villages: Presentation to Planning Institute of Australia

This presentation (October 2021) introduces the concept of Circular Economy Villages, to be explored in more detail in a PIA PLANET short course in the first half of 2022.

Steven Liaros and Nilmini De Silva discuss several global megatrends that are changing the way we live and work. The convergence of these trends, taken to their logical conclusion, suggests that future cities should be planned as a network of community-scale precincts. These would incorporate precinct-scale circular economy infrastructure, renewable energy micro-grids, shared electric vehicles and regenerative agriculture integrated with build-to-rent housing and coworking hubs. The Circular Economy Village development model is applicable primarily in rural and regional areas seeking to attract post-COVID escapees from the major cities.
