Abstract
The session aims to bring key urban stakeholders together to establish dialogue on cities and circular economies. City leaders, urban professionals, financial institutions, community groups and academics will come together to present good and replicable examples and discuss practical approaches to implementing circular economies. The session will provide thoughts for decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources locally and globally, and reducing waste out of the system - maximizing the value of resources by keeping them in use for as long as possible.
