The goal of this first seminar was to initiate a conversation between academics, policymakers, and practitioners around the topic of urban metabolism. To further this goal, we will be sharing a variety of outputs with all the relevant stakeholders and we invite you to get involved if you would like to stay engaged around this topic.

It will take a number of weeks to process all the outputs from the event (which includes videos, photos, write-ups of the recommendations and notes contributed by the audience, and the presentations from the speakers). Information will be released through this website as it becomes available.
