Urban systems shape how cities function and how people interact with their environment. They connect the flows of resources, water, materials, waste, and nature across the urban landscape. Circular economy approaches, urban mining, rainwater harvesting, wetlands, Sponge City concepts, and measures to reduce urban heat can make cities more resilient, resource-efficient, less dependent on long supply chains, and more livable.
