Developing an Urban Resource Cadaster for Circular Economy

摘要: The ever-increasing pressure on resources has provided an impetus to the circular economy paradigm, especially in the construction sector. Unfortunately, the construction industry is not easily convinced about the implementation of circular economy strategies without a clear and dynamic overview of the materials demand and supply. An important perspective for such an overview is so called urban resource cadaster that characterizes the urban built environment stocks based on their location, type, quantity, and quality in high spatial and temporal resolution. In this chapter, we detailed the concept, methodology, use cases, and general implications of such an urban resource cadaster. Three case studies were presented based on integrating heterogeneous data through a Geographic information system-based bottom-up material stock analysis with sampled data on building material composition portfolios.
