Circular Healthy City
Cities currently occupy less than 3% of the Earth's surface but are home to 50% of the population. They are responsible for 75% of the natural resources consumed, 70% of the gas emissions generated but also 70% of the world's GDP.
Hence the need for cities to acquire green infrastructure, and develop a design and management approach to land, its resources, food, waste and urban settlements in order to face the climate change.
Circular Healthy City is the exhibition and virtual space that brings together the most innovative projects, solutions and models of circular and healthy cities implemented internationally.
Four areas were explored at Ecomondo 2024 in terms of both exhibition and content:
>> RECYCLING AND REUSE
- Waste: applications and automations for separate collection 2.0 and reuse
- ISO / ESG / EMAS certifications, consulting and finance
- Water resource conservation and management
>> SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
- Building: biomaterials, green building systems and components, environmentally friendly products and materials
- Land management: street and urban design, smart districts, urban parks - public green, suburban regeneration, urban planning
>> SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT
- Mobility: city logistic, last mile logistic, low impact transport
- Territorial security: surveillance and remote surveillance systems, road safety
- ICT: interoperability, IT tools, robotics, cloud computing services, Big Data, connectivity and networks
>> URBAN HEALTH
The sustainable city must improve individual and collective health through health literacy policies, encouraging healthy lifestyles, proposing the implementation of policies aimed at socially responsible companies to promote health in the workplace, and involving public administrators to influence environmental and climatic factors to reduce the risks linked to the development of pollution-related diseases.
