The Circular City Centre (C3) was launched in October 2021 and is currently in pilot phase. This is a great resource for cities looking to address many of the linear problems they struggle with today, and make their cities more regenerative, resilient, clean, liveable and attractive to both citizens and companies.
The C3 supports cities in this endeavour by:
- Sharing resources and practical information to support city-level circular action
- Providing circular city advisory to support cities in their circular transition
- Raising awareness about relevant advisory and funding opportunities for circular projects
The Centre has been established with the support of the European Commission through the European Investment Advisory Hub to advance circular action in cities, including facilitating access to advisory and financing for circular projects.
Who is it for?
- If you are a city, you can receive free advice and support to start or continue their circular transition through the C3 circular city advisory
- If you are a public project promoter, you can receive free advice on how to design and best position your projects to access funding. Private sector promoters working with and for cities can also benefit from such support.
- Anyone interested in the circular city topic can access useful knowledge, resources and tools to support their circular initiatives, projects or city activities
