Pionierende URBACT Netwerken: URGE Utrecht - Interview met Harry Hofman

In het URBACT programma zijn verschillende netwerken actief waarin verschillende Nederlandse steden deelnemen. In de reeks ‘pionierende URBACT Netwerken’ lichten we verschillende URBACT netwerken met Nederlandse partners uit. In dit artikel staat het Action Planning Netwerk URGE (circUlaR buildinG citiEs) centraal. Utrecht is een de lead partner van dit netwerk. Het URGE netwerk werkt aan Action Plans om circulariteit in de bouw te promoten. Utrecht is de thuisbasis van veel bedrijven die vooroplopen op het gebied van circulair bouwen. Sommige bedrijven zijn al meer dan 10 jaar actief! Eén van deze bedrijven is GBN, een bouwbedrijf dat werkt aan het hergebruik van bouwmaterialen en elementen. Het URGE-netwerk Utrecht sprak met Harry Hofman – directeur circulaire materialen bij GBN – over het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van de circulaire bouw in Utrecht.
