Cities lend themselves particularly well to circular business models as they act as central infrastructure hubs for key resource flows. If a city wishes to capture and recirculate nutrients more effectively – for example, through industrial symbiosis – then the close proximity of citizens, industry, retailers, service providers and municipal authorities offers an ideal platform to fast-track collaboration.
- Governance: public authorities have a relevant role designing, planning and implementing the transition towards the new economy. Citizens also have a new power thanks to global access to information and communications. Transparency and engagement appear as new conditions in the context of a city, where citizens are closer to the authorities and governing bodies. Regulation can help address the challenges of the effective implementation of a circular system in cities.
- Urban planning: to build the system properly the interactions between all the activities and uses that coexist in a city have to be considered. Business, housing, retail, industry, schools, transportation and other services, all have a role to play within a circular system. This complexity brings more resiliency, this being a great advantage of implementing the new economy.
- Business and industry: a new economy has to be built thinking about new ways to do business and to produce goods and services. Designing facilities and processes to regenerate the environment and to manufacture healthy and recyclable products may bring manufacturers to the city, closer to materials and resources (both human and energy/water).
- New relationships: the new economy changes the rules. Technical materials (nutrients) are to be perpetually cycled; meaning that many consumer products will in future be thought of as services. Sharing, leasing, virtualising, and other methods, will build a new environment of relationships between citizens in a CE city.
Luis Espiga, del Triform Institute, dará una charla sobre Triformación Social y Desarrollo de Organizaciones y sobre el seminario que se desarrollará a partir de octubre.
La charla de presentación es de entrada libre. Tendrá lugar el próximo Miércoles, 26 de Septiembre, a las 19.00 hrs en la Casa Rudolf Steiner, C/ Duquesa de Orleans, 6 Barcelona
La Triformación Social es un impulso de sanación de los organismos sociales, sean empresas, asociaciones, escuelas, ONG’s, etc, desde una visión holística de los mismos. Es una metodología práctica para intervenir y producir transformaciones profundas. Constituye una aplicación práctica de la Antroposofía de Rudolf Steiner.
Exploraremos múltiples aspectos para lograr una visión profunda de las organizaciones, su dinámica oculta y las leyes espirituales que las rigen, como organismos vivos que son.
El seminario está destinado a todas aquellas personas que trabajen en equipo, responsables de iniciativas, directivos, empresarios y emprendedores, en las tres áreas de actividad económica, cultural y jurídico-política de la sociedad.
El Triform Institute crea en los participantes de los seminarios las aptitudes necesarias para iniciar proyectos de transformación en sus organizaciones, a la vez que realizan un desarrollo personal y social como individuos.
