#CircularKarlsruhe: Vision workshop paves the way to a circular city
On May 13, over 80 participants from business, science, administration, politics, and civil society gathered at Steamwork Karlsruhe — joined by 20+ remote experts — for a full-day vision workshop on the Circular Economy. Their shared goal: to develop the foundation for a city-wide vision of a circular Karlsruhe.
Four key vision areas emerged: Circular Construction, Circular Value Creation, Lifestyle and Consumption and Local Food Systems. Elena Boerman was invited to participate in the workshop group of Circular Construction on behalf of the Professorship of Sustainable Construction.
The workshop results will feed into a feasibility study to inform political decision-making in fall 2025. Further engagement formats and a #CircularKarlsruhe network are in the works by the Wirtschaftsförderung of Karlsruhe.
