A Circular Economy in Contemporary Danish Housing

Publications: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearch

Abstract

In recent years, a number of Danish firms have worked with a circular economy in housing. They include architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers and clients, representing a broad range in the value chain of the building industry. In the following, I will present and discuss some of the key sources for the work of these firms and some of their recent housing projects. They point to a latent, yet difficult transition to other ways of constructing and inhabiting homes.
