China is planning to build around 10 New York Cities by 2025

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    I think cities are where new
    infrastructure development
  • 0:03 - 0:07
    happens, especially in mobility
    and the built environment
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    sectors. You know, I just wanted
    to add another example. For
  • 0:11 - 0:16
    example, China is planning to
    build something between twenty
  • 0:16 - 0:21
    thousand and fifty thousand new
    high rise buildings. That is up
  • 0:21 - 0:29
    to 10 New York cities by 2025.
    So we think about the scales. So
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    China is still continued, you
    know, having this rapid
  • 0:32 - 0:38
    urbanisation and all of these
    present a massive opportunities
  • 0:38 - 0:44
    for cities in China to apply the
    circular economy principles. Two
  • 0:44 - 0:49
    years ago at the Foundation we
    did research, looking to the
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    benefits of circular economies
    in five key sectors in China,
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    which are built environment,
    mobility, urban food system,
  • 0:59 - 1:04
    electronics and textile. So the
    full report could be found in
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    our website under the
    publication page.
