Circularity in Urban Neighborhood Development

Event Overview

The 'Circularity in Urban Neighborhood Development' workshop is set to take place on October 28, 2026, from 14:00 to 15:30 at the Nachhaltigkeitszentrum Hagen e.V. in Hagen, Germany. This workshop is part of a community-led initiative known as 'Climate-Positive Wehringhausen,' which effectively merges circular economy practices with climate-friendly solutions.

Participants will engage in discussions about the practicalities of implementing circular processes in urban projects, such as parklets—wooden structures that replace parking spaces to foster social interaction. The workshop will cover the essential circular processes involved, including the maintenance of reclaimed materials, seasonal planting, and community engagement through volunteer efforts.

This event aims to facilitate an open exchange on the successes and challenges faced in such initiatives, addressing topics like funding, institutional support, and community motivation. The workshop will be conducted in both German and English, making it accessible to a wider audience interested in sustainable urban development.
