As a planner, the local government analyzes the current situation and anticipates material flows through resilient planning.

Urban planning takes physical, social, and environmental factors into account and determines the allocation, development, and use of buildings, infrastructure, and parks. It has a major impact on how people and goods move through a city and can strongly influence whether materials, products, and resources can be reused and kept in use. It can also lead to long-term housing patterns, mobility patterns, and behavioral lock-ins. Therefore, incorporating the principles of the circular economy into urban planning decision-making is invaluable.
