Abstract

In the framework of the circular economy, the operational integration of metabolic flows management and co-planning of waste territories, also defined wastescapes, has been implemented by the Geodesign Decision Support Environment (GDSE) platform, a tool developed in the H2020 REPAiR project. The GDSE can be described as a Decision Support System (DSS) to manage metabolic flows in a spatial GIS-based environment. Born as a tool for the resources management in peri-urban areas, the GDSE was also configured as a repository of multiple information. By comparing the main steps of the Geodesign Hub software and the GDSE platform, the paper intends to highlight the results obtained so far from the implementation of the GDSE and the main future development hypotheses. The primary purpose is to integrate wastescapes regeneration with the management of metabolic flows by realising evaluation maps, required by Geodesign Hub software, in the GDSE to trigger a holistic regenerative process for the circular city.
