Zwolse aanpak circulair bouwen

An important part of the transition to a circular economy relates to the construction sector. In Zwolle, circular demolition, construction and development are already underway. The Zwolse Approach to Circular Building sees the impact that the construction sector has on the use of raw materials and CO2 emissions. The considerable construction task of Zwolle until 2030 offers opportunities to make impactful choices in the field of circular construction.

The scale of the task, precisely because of the scale, can help to accelerate innovation in the construction sector and keep it affordable. The municipality distinguishes between the different roles it fulfills: as a client (circle of control), as a facilitator (circle of influence) or as a director (circle of involvement). Depending on the role, the degree of influence is greater or less. The municipality wants to set an example in its own projects.
