The Circular City Studio harnesses NYC's boundless energy, inertia, and linear economy into a self-sustaining loop. Transitioning to an economy where goods and resources are part of a system of reuse, regeneration, and recycling is key to New York's climate adaptation response and long-term viability.
Buildings are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in NYC, the Studio aims to increase the energy efficiency of city structures and urban environments by expanding existing infrastructure and bring new approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Selected participants will collaborate with Newlab and pilot site locations to determine viability and optimal placement for their product or technology within the local community.
