III Circular Architecture Marathon: Onda towards a Green and Circular Lung

The Department of Circular Architecture of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has taken another step forward in its commitment to sustainability and circularity in the built environment by organising the third edition of the idea’s competition (III Circular Architecture Marathon). The main objective of this event is to promote reflection and dissemination among students and professionals on the implementation of the concepts of sustainability and circularity in construction and urban planning processes, contributing to the transformation of the sector towards a circular economy and supporting the decarbonisation of urban environments. In this edition, the initiative has been supported by the Onda City Council and had as a case study the project (Onda's Green Lung).

Redefining Urban Security for Inclusive Cities

Urban security encompasses the comprehensive safety and well-being of individuals within urban environments, acknowledging the intricate interplay between tangible threats and the perception of security. The goal of the project is to overcome the securitarian approach, which focuses primarily on law enforcement and punitive measures, fostering instead the underlying causes of insecurity. While crime must be prosecuted, a more comprehensive strategy is needed to foster a sense of safety and well-being.
