Urban Mining of the Patrick-Henry-Village: Heidelberg’s Vision for a Circular Economy in Construction by Matthias Heinrich EPEA
Matthias Heinrich reveals urban mining strategies through Patrick Henry Village: how to tap old buildings as material reservoirs for construction reuse.
The construction industry consumes the most new resources. At the same time, they have access to an enormous reservoir of materials: old buildings. But how can these urban mines be tapped?
In his presentation, Matthias Heinrich uses the example of the Patrick Henry Village in Heidelberg to explain what is needed to reuse old buildings. You can find his presentation with illustrations linked below.
This episode is part of the series about the CIRCULAZE Summit from November 2024.
