Urban Building Economy
CCH Toolbox Module
Module description
The Urban Building Economy module analyzes the local context, from market potential for reused materials to the regulatory and legal frameworks affecting implementation. This module helps users assess whether a viable market opportunity exists in their city and identifies regional conditions that could enable or hinder their project.
Key Question: What local conditions determine whether a Circular Construction Hub can succeed?
Goal: Build a reliable, evidence-based foundation for developing a viable and context-adapted CCH.
Why
A strong understanding of the Urban Building Economy is essential to de-risk investment decisions, align stakeholders, and ensure that the CCH model is grounded in real market conditions rather than assumptions.
What
- Assess market demand and supply for reusable construction materials
- Identify and analyse key stakeholders and their roles
- Prioritise relevant material streams and value chains
- Review regulatory and legal frameworks
- Evaluate overall feasibility conditions for the CCH
How
Work through interconnected modules covering market dynamics, stakeholders, materials, regulation, and feasibility. Iteratively refine insights to build a holistic understanding of your local ecosystem.
