The traditional linear economy model based on ‘take-make-waste’ is increasingly unsustainable in the built environment domain. Embracing circularity is not an option but urgently needed to secure a greener future. 

In this podcast, Dr Sheila Conejos, Head of Facilities Management at SUSS School of Science and Technology, and Cynthia Chang, Head, Office of Service-Learning & Community Engagement, discuss the shift towards a circular economy from macro urban planning to shaping human practices through building facilities design.
