How do we make circular construction practical and scalable in real life? During this interactive session, the municipality of Delft will take you through the development of its circular construction policy. After a brief introduction, we will go into discussion with developers, builders and other market parties using thought-provoking dilemmas and real-world questions. Which choices work in practice? Where are the biggest bottlenecks? And what do builders need from municipalities to truly move circular construction forward?
No one-way traffic, but an open conversation in which we explore together how we make the step from ambition to realisation.
We will do this using an area development project for Kop van de Buitenhof. We are looking for tips to ensure that our ambitions become reality now. The 3 best tips will win a pair of unique socks!
Speakers:
- Stijn van Liefland – municipalityDelft, advisor Circular Economy
- Sebastiaan Knepper – gemeente Delft, advisor Energy Transition
- Wouter Roemaat – Alba Concepts, partner

That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'
