BRUSSELS LONDON ROTTERDAM
• Loss of space and poor accessibility to space
• Lack of strong networks in some areas
• Poor integration of manufacturing into circular economy ambitions
• Lack of good dialogue between manufacturers and authorities
• Poor, and inaccurate, perception of manufacturing amongst authorities (and public)
Materials and material flows:
• Business have decent understanding of supply chain, but not of waste streams
• Commercial waste is mixed and components unknown. Poor waste collection sites, and lack of incentives for firms to care about waste streams with exception of metals
• Even in developments where sustainability is a commitment, the focus is not on circularity of materials
• Increasing accumulation of materials in the city
Technology
• City manufacturers using low technology
• Desire to invest in technology but risky
• Potential for sharing of technology, but difficult in practice
• Interaction of technology and space is important, main river for location
• New skills needed for new technology, but skills for lower tech and traditional skills also hard to find
