Circular City Ports - Workbook 1, Circular initiatives in the Delta

01 Exploratory trajectory General outline of the trajectory
8
This explorative trajectory ‘Circular City Ports’, initiated
by OVAM (Public Waste Agency of Flanders)
and Vlaanderen Circulair (Circular Flanders), deals
with the future transformation of ports, where circularity
will play an important role. Both in the publication
of ‘Lage Landen 2020-2100’ ‘Low Lands 2020-
2100’ as well in context of the IABR-2018+2020-THE
MISSING LINK and its Brussels’ component ‘You
Are Here’, circular ports are a reoccurring subject.
‘The Circular Ports of the Delta’ was a theme on the
Delta Working Conference of 4 to 7 July 2018 and
where four trajectories were set out, focused on the
four scales on which circular ports work: the circular
company, the city port (city-port interface), the port
region (the regional range of the port) and the delta
region (circular mainframe). Architecture Workroom
Brussels and 1010au took up the assignment on
the ‘circular city ports’ and investigate the shared
chances and challenges, connections and opportunities
by looking at different city ports and their current
circular initiatives.
