Which phase are you in during this transition? How much experience do you already have, and are you ready for the next step?

STEP 1 - INFLUENCE

To understand the needs and opportunities, but also to build support, you share knowledge and vision in a targeted manner, both with higher-level decision-makers and with those in the field.

STEP 4 - PROVIDE

A local government can then, through its core functions, provide various services that support its residents and businesses in building according to the principles of an economy based on closed material loops.

STEP 2 - ENGAGE

No one can make the transition to a circular construction economy alone. Therefore you must engage partners, both internal and external.

STEP 5 - IMPLEMENT

In addition, it is important to lead by example; walk the talk. As a building owner, manager, and client, a city or municipality can itself apply many circular principles.

STEP 3 - DEVELOP

Once there is sufficient support, more concrete policy measures can be developed that are tailored to specific needs.

STEP 6 - ENFORCE

Finally, a government has regulatory authority. Through rules and laws, certain circular principles can be enforced, and barriers to their implementation can also be removed.
