The spatial potential of the circular post-industrial city is represented in the hypothetical diagram below. On the basis of the stakeholder, metabolism and context analyses in the first phase, we are capable of creating a potentiality card on which the most promising directions of development for a circular Buiksloterham are made visible. This diagram is a hypothesis of the possibilities a circular city has to offer. We do see, however, that there is no lack of (design) ideas for the circular city, but that there is the risk that the development, confronted by local circumstances, remains stuck in ambitions and rules. This is why we are not only searching for a challenge for designers, but also for the force field from which a circular city can arise.
The resilient circular city is not designed; it is allowed to arise. space for purifying ecological structures that produce energy
