Metabolism of Cities
We are a global network of people working together on systemically reducing net environmental impacts of cities and territories in a socially just manner and context-specific way.

What we do

Create knowledge

We aim to create new knowledge by participating and collaborating in research projects and developing new open source tools.

Share knowledge

We aim to gather and curate (all) knowledge around urban metabolism in one central platform in order to make it accessible to different target audiences.

Apply knowledge

We help policy makers and practitioners to tackle their challenges with Urban Metabolism thinking.

Foster a community

We believe that tackling the urban sustainability challenge can not be done alone. We want to foster a community of stakeholders that collaborates on developing solutions.
