Urban Circularity Assessment
Material-flow analysis of urban circularity, developed within the CityLoops programme, made legible through interactive Sankey diagrams.

- Interactive Sankey visualisation
A method and visualisation of urban material flows and stocks; it estimates and makes them legible, it does not audit every tonne that moves through a city.
Circular-economy ambitions need a shared method for understanding how materials enter, accumulate within and leave cities.
My contribution
At Metabolism of Cities, I worked on the assessment method and interactive material-flow visualisation, connecting environmental accounts with usable urban evidence.
