The INBUILT project recently took part in the SUM Multidisciplinary Symposium on Circular Economy & Urban Mining (Procida, 21-23 May), hosting an engaging and practical workshop focused on Urban Mining in the construction sector. Organized by Leitat Technological Center and powered by INBUILT, the session brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to explore the untapped potential of the built environment for urban mining.

Led by Davide Cerra (LEITAT), with inspiring insights from Magdalena Zabek (University of Technology of Delft), the workshop facilitated in-depth discussions on the potential of the built environment for the circular economy. LEITAT presented a comprehensive overview of Urban Mining initiatives across the EU, mapping key players and encouraging meaningful dialogue among participants.

A key takeaway from the event: our cities are rich in hidden resources — we just need to learn how to extract and reuse them sustainably.
