I'm extremely happy to share some of the main findings of our new paper: "The effect of industrialization & globalization on domestic land-use: A global resource footprint perspective" doi.org/10.1016/j.gloe… @SustainableDean @KlausHubacek @MartinBruckner 👇 (1/6)
Industrial intensification &unbalanced trade relations enable countries seemingly unconstrained consumption of biomass goods while being able to spare land for #conservation &recreation. However, superficially efficient #landuse systems have the highest #resourcefootprints (2/6) 
While wealthier countries have reduced their reliance and pressure on domestic land ecosystems, they consume more biomass goods produced in other countries and require higher energy and material inputs for intensification. There is no #decoupling observable (3/6)
Launched today, CityCirc 1.0 is a computational tool developed by Exploration Architecture that makes it easier to design circular economy systems for cities and eco-industrial parks. Inspired by the interconnected and highly resource-efficient characteristics of ecosystems -
This tool allows designers to both plan and visualise how complex systems work. this tool allows designers to both plan and visualise how complex systems work. Users can input technologies / processes / land uses together with their key inputs / outputs and then make connections
so that waste from one part of the system can become an input for another part. This encourages designers to regard all under-utilised resources as opportunities to add something to the system to create more value. Exploration Architecture are now offering this as
