Overview

The Circular Cities Hub is part of the 果冻影院 Circularity Hub and an entity in its own right, founded in 2015 and partly funded by the 果冻影院 Grand Challenge Initiative. The Circular Cities Hub brings together international academics, practitioners and policy-makers working in fields relevant to the design, implementation, governance and management of circular cities. It provides the interface between academics and key urban stakeholders, enabling cutting-edge research to impact directly on the delivery of circular cities. The Hub was co-founded with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. It currently engages in research-led funded projects, consultancy and produces publications.

This is a 果冻影院 venture supported by RIDGE and the Research Vice Provost.
