“…Typically, industrial areas are able to utilize waste from urban areas as alternative raw materials or energy sources, whereas treated urban gray water is used for irrigation (Van Berkel et al 2009). Such "systems integration" thinking, with synergies between various industries and infrastructures, has influenced eco-towns such as Kawasaki, Japan, the Hammarby Sjöstad district of Stockholm, the City of Rotterdam, and theÖstergötland region of Sweden (Van Berkel et al 2009;Baas 2011;Iveroth et al 2013aIveroth et al , 2013bLenhart et al 2015). Attempts at carbon-neutral urban planning have focused upon reducing consumption of energy, waste, and water (Tillie et al 2009;Creutzig et al 2015;Geng et al 2016;Ghisellini et al 2016).…”

Amid continued growth in the building stock, the pursuit of sustainable buildings is dominated by a focus on carbon neutrality and green, often overlooking resource consumption and its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and planetary degradation. Accordingly, this article seeks to highlight the importance of a resource-efficient built environment, which enables required functions to be delivered with less assets, and to put forward an approach toward this objective. In this regard, the circular economy (CE) concept seeks to extract more value from resources by using them for as long as possible, thereby increasing economic prosperity and employment while reducing waste, greenhouse emissions, and pollution. Thus far, application of CE principles has largely concentrated on the industrial sector, such as through industrial symbiosis and its extension to urban symbiosis/metabolism. Their application to cities and, in particular, the built environment has been limited and the body of literature is relatively undeveloped. Insight is offered into how this field of research might be developed and applied to enable a more resource-efficient, low-carbon built environment with socioeconomic benefits. It reviews literature on the CE and industrial ecology, their application to industrial and urban contexts, and the gaps pertaining to the building sector. A proposition for extending research and its application to the built environment is then put forward, encapsulated in a conceptual model. This is seen as an important first step in influencing policy makers and repositioning resource efficiency firmly on the sustainable and carbon neutral building agenda.

“…Certain authors indirectly assess the production of oxygen and the sequestration of pollutants by tree types and their proximity to the main pollution sources, especially the traffic [14]. For some cities the urban consumption of fuel is assessed to achieve the neutral CO2 [18,19]. A similar gradual CO2 reduction is targeted in Timisoara [7] because the pressure (possibility) on tree cover extension is limited [13].…”

The development of cities is below the target in reducing pollution and high population density. The environmental agency formulated the rules for the construction of spatial area-based balances of energy use-oxygen production-pollution for the new Building Code of Timisoara. Studies for households or traffic typically evaluate separately energy, oxygen production or pollution. In this research, we have developed a flow-funds model for conterminous residential building processes with spatial-temporal borders. We are modeling the integrated processes for energy-oxygen-pollution in 14 urban zones for households-buildings with segmentation of partial processes for energy-pollution and separately for oxygen flows. The segmentation is based on modeling of 338 streets at nano-levels as street segments. We have found a new solution for the boundaries in place of the 73 Territorial References Units in the in force Building Code. We made the distinction between area-point and in-process measurement. The modeling revealed that national energy-pollution balances did not integrate oxygen urban production which overestimates the CO2 reported figures. The daily intensity of carbon sequestration in the warm season for 14 zones in Timisoara varies between 0.21-0.70 grams per meter squared for residential areas. The different carbon sequestration intensity justifies differentiated measures to reduce the pollution in residential areas.

“…11 Cependant, un petit nombre de travaux récents appliquent les principes de l'écologie industrielle à des services urbains (eau, assainissement, énergie, collecte de déchets, transport…) et mettent ainsi les acteurs de la fabrique des villes au centre de leurs préoccupations (Vernay, 2013 ;Curien, 2014 ;Pandis Iveroth, 2014 ;Lenhart et al, 2015). Ils analysent par ce biais des systèmes qui rompent avec le mode dominant de gestion de ces flux, parce qu'ils sortent des systèmes en réseau dominants ou établissent des échanges de flux entre différents réseaux habituellement déconnectés.…”
