The inclusive city hub is focused on all
those new connections between society,

relevant in a transition towards a circular
economy.

31. Case 1: Circular Rotterdam

32. High-rise household waste
4,7 million people
live in high-rise
buildings in the
Netherlands
High-rise residents
produce 150 kg
more residual waste
than their low-rise
neighbours per year
The average of 250
kg residual waste
pppy should drop to
100 kg in 2020
The percentage of
seperated waste
should climb from
50% to 75% in 2020
From: Vuilnis in de Flat, 2015

33. Case 1: Circular Rotterdam
• The city of Rotterdam is densening its city centre. Districts such as the
Wijnhaven island and Pompenburg are becoming vertical cities.

34. Case 1: Circular Rotterdam
• The municipality also has the ambition to become a fully circular city,
minimizing waste production and recycling what is left.

35. Claims on space
Space needed
for recycling
Quality of
living

36. Assessing different options

37. Case 1: Circular Rotterdam
Can we create innovative circular solutions for collecting and
processing waste in the compact, vertical areas
of Rotterdam, possibly scaled up to city-broad systems?

38. Innovative solutions

39. Scalable

40. Case 1: Circular Rotterdam
Technical innovations Systems engineering Social opportunities Spatial implementation

41. Case 2: Inclusive Delft

42. Case 2: Inclusive Delft
In the next few years Delft has the ambition to transform the area around
station Delft Zuid to a sustainable, circular, innovative and future-proof urban
district.

43. Case 2: Inclusive Delft
This area is not only located near the TU campus, but also close to the residential
areas Voorhof and Tanthof. Therefore the ambition needs to reach further.

44. Case 2: Inclusive Delft
Can we steer this process of development in such a
way that everyone can contribute and benefit? Can
we create not only a sustainable,
but an inclusive city?
If so, how to do this?

45. Case 2: Inclusive Delft
Urban development Social opportunities Participation Management
