This time, we dive into the circular world. The circular economy is all  over the place in the Brussels policy scene since the European  Commission presented the Circular Economy Package in early 2018. But  what do we actually mean with the term ‘circular economy’? What is the  potential of the housing sector in delivering an eco-friendy future for  our cities? 

We address these key questions with 2 excellent guests. TU  Delft Assistant Professor of Housing Management, Gerard Van Bortel helps  us understand better the challenges that circular building adaptation  brings for public, cooperative and social housing providers but also the  multiple benefits linked with it. Theresa Heitzlhofer, communications  manager at Alchemia Nova in Vienna offers us insights from one of the  demonstration cases of the Horizon 2020 'Houseful' project. We end our  journey in Denmark where Lejerbo, a member of our Danish member  organisation BL, is building the World's first social housing unit after  circular principles.
