Lab researchers presented interdisciplinary work on ecosystem services, informal flows, alternative resource governance and model development. The conference contributions brought together design, environmental science, engineering and social-science approaches to urban metabolism. The discussion centres on Interdisciplinarity, Transdisciplinarity, Ecosystem services, and Informal flows.

The contribution is developed through Conference presentations and interdisciplinary exchange. The geographical or conceptual scope is International.

The contribution reflects the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence to translate urban-metabolism research into planning, design, governance or policy.
