Unveiling Copenhagen’s First City-Wide Material Flow Analysis

We’re excited to invite you to a groundbreaking online session where we reveal Copenhagen Municipality’s first-ever Material Flow Analysis – a deep dive into what materials enter, circulate, and leave the city.

This is more than just numbers. It’s a story about how data, methods, and insights come together to paint a picture of the city’s material footprint. You’ll get a front-row seat to:

  • How we did it: A behind-the-scenes look at the unique combination of methods – from inflow/outflow tracking to ethnographic fieldwork
  • The power of data: How retail sales, national statistics, and self-reported data were merged to create the most detailed overview possible
  • What we learned: Key challenges, smart solutions, and takeaways for future urban resource planning

Whether you’re a sustainability professional, researcher, or just curious about how cities can better understand and manage their resources, this session is for you.

Let’s explore the flows that shape our cities – and what they tell us about the path to a more circular future.
We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your thoughts!
