00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.420
I think cities are where new
infrastructure development

00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:07.380
happens, especially in mobility
and the built environment

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.830
sectors. You know, I just wanted
to add another example. For

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:16.050
example, China is planning to
build something between twenty

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:21.270
thousand and fifty thousand new
high rise buildings. That is up

00:00:21.270 --> 00:00:28.530
to 10 New York cities by 2025.
So we think about the scales. So

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:32.280
China is still continued, you
know, having this rapid

00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:37.950
urbanisation and all of these
present a massive opportunities

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:44.250
for cities in China to apply the
circular economy principles. Two

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:49.140
years ago at the Foundation we
did research, looking to the

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:53.820
benefits of circular economies
in five key sectors in China,

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:58.470
which are built environment,
mobility, urban food system,

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.350
electronics and textile. So the
full report could be found in

00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:07.740

publication page.
