BUILDING A CIRCULAR FUTURE

Insights from Interdisciplinary Research

E

Building a Circular Future (January 2024), edited by Ditte Lysgaard Vind in collaboration with BLOXHUB and Realdania, offers a comprehensive examination of the construction industry’s shift toward circularity. Spanning 188 pages, the publication explores the interplay between circular economy principles and the built environment through three thematic strands: economy and societal structures, transformation and strategic research, and materials and energy.

This interdisciplinary anthology highlights applied research emerging from the Circular Built Environment Network—showcasing how circularity can reshape building practices and influence the design, materials, and energy frameworks of the built world. The book underscores the value of interdisciplinary collaboration in generating actionable insights and strategies needed for enabling a circular transition in construction.
