Circular cities careers: Sustainable careers enabling sustainable cities

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In the light of rapid urbanisation, simultaneous unsustainable urban development going in hand with depletion of resources and GHG emissions that destroy the foundation of human survival on this planet is going on. Catalysed by the current global pandemic, the question for the future of the way we live and work on this planet is rapidly at stakes, yet prone to radical change to evolutionary processes. Urban environments must evolve to become a viable system as productive (e)co-players in food production, energy conversion and the cycling of resources like water and biomass while maintaining cities as hubs for ideas, culture, science, productivity, social, human, and economic development.
