Context

» General theoretical framework:» Cradle to Cradle concept» Cradle to Cradle principles» Cradle to Cradle applications

» Perspective Studies – theoretical framework» Building» Industry» Spatial Development» Governance

» Need for a common language and common guiding principles

Objective

» To explain the common vision that governs the network and that will be expressed in the action plans

» Provide common introductory chapter for each of the perspective studies:

Provide guidance on “What is C2C in relation to:» Building,» Spatial development,» Industry,» Governance”

Approach

1) First perspective on the role of governance in relation to

C2C

2) Discussion – vision of the members of the C2CNetwork.» Which questions arise when talking about cradle to

cradle and governance?» Which are the answers we can formulate to these

questions?

1) First perspective

» Governance as target area is different than other target areas (industry, buildings, spatial area)

» Make a distinct vision of the role of governance in relation to:» Concept » Principles » Applications

» Industry» Buildings» Spatial area

1) Limburg Principles

» The Limburg principles» We are native to our place» Our waste is our food (~waste equals food)» Sun is our income (~use of current solar

income)» Our air, soil and water are healthy» We design enjoyment for all generations» Provide enjoyable mobility for all

1) Role of governance in relation to applications – strategy & implementation

» The C2Cnetwork project ambition is to understand the potential role of C2C for applications in:

» Industry – product development» Buildings – construction & design» Spatial area – infrastructure & community development

1) Five notions for Cradle to Cradle spatial development Brochure from Dutch Government Service for Land and Water management:

1. Develop clean cycles in time and space

2. Create added value for people, planet, profit and collaboration

3. The development process has to be strategic and operational

4. Make use of existing capital: landscape and people

5. Consider spatial development as a sustainable evolution

1) Role of governance in relation to applications – strategy & implementation

» The C2Cnetwork project ambition is to understand the potential role of C2C for applications in:

» Industry (micro)– product development » Buildings (micro-meso) – construction & design» Spatial area (meso) – infrastructure & community

development

» Role of governance » Strategy – ambition & leadership» Multi-actor cooperation - transition on meso and micro-scale

– change management» Implementation – monitoring & validation

2) Discussion

» 360° collection of comments/thoughts/questions on the first perspective

» Which questions arise when talking about cradle to cradle and governance?

» Which are the answers we can formulate to these questions?
