TU Delft Studio Course: Spatial Strategies for the Global Metropolis
Masters Urbanism students are tasked to conduct a region design consisting of developing a vision and strategy with spatial interventions at different spatial levels within North-West Europe. The results of the studio will be inspiration for a) design principles & b) building blocks of a future strategy and action plan for the ASSET project.

RWTH Aachen Course: Transforming City Regions Masters Module II
Transforming City Regions Masters' module, Integrated Project II: Evolution of functional urban areas, focuses on the city scale using the study case of Haven -city in Amsterdam. Tasks will include: conceptualising circularity, implement circularity into the development, and strategically integrate social, economic and cultural elements.
2024
ASSET on tour
Project partners will travel together to all partner cities and regions, covering best practices, moderated discussions with local stakeholders where partners will share their CBE ambitions, policies, spatial claims of CE and challenges, and discuss the potential for interregional collaboration to create synergies.
2024
Summer school
3-day course hosted by Circular Built Environment Hub at the TU Delft that focuses on the Eurodelta and its potential to contribute to the transition to a circular built environment – open to students (BSc and MSc), PhD candidates, and professionals (architects, urban planners, policy makers).
2024
Circular Atlas
Online opensource database that will accommodate case studies across the material, component, building, neighbourhood, city and regional scale derives from best practices provided and analyzed by project partners specifically city/regions.
