Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
About the webinar
Join the global launch of the new open source book: Doughnut for Urban Development: A Manual. You can access the book and all associated resources and tools online here.
The event will be led by the two editors Dani Hill-Hansen and Kasper Guldager, and the DEAL team. The editors will share details about the Manual and how to use it in practice, and answer any questions from attendees.
For the first time the Doughnut model has been applied at a sectoral level, resulting in Doughnut for Urban Development: A Manual, which presents the background, process, and findings of a collaborative research process between twenty co-authors and twenty contributing experts.
The manual was created with the aim of providing developers and other building industry experts with knowledge that supports the application and practice of the Doughnut principles in urban development. It could be used by architects, planners, engineers, local government officers and others working on the design, planning and delivery of buildings.
Doughnut for Urban Development takes a departure point in the original Doughnut, developed by British economist Kate Raworth in her pioneering work Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st century economist The Doughnut for social and planetary boundaries is made up of an inner ring, the social foundation which represents the minimum social standards required for human well-being, and an outer ring, the ecological ceiling which represents the ecological limits of the planet. Between these rings lies the doughnut-shaped safe and just space for humanity that is regenerative and distributive by design.
The manual was developed with a broad group of leading researchers and building industry practitioners, to make the latest research and innovation easily accessible to urban developers and building industry professionals alike.
Doughnut for Urban Development: A manual is edited by Dani Hill-Hansen and Kasper Guldager Jensen and co-created by cross-disciplinary experts from Aalborg University - BUILD, Danish Technical University, Doughnut Economic Action Lab, Green Building Council - Denmark, EFFEKT, Home.Earth, SLA, Sweco, Stockholm Resilience Centre and Vandkunsten.

I am currently mobilising an initiative to develop a Design for Sustainability and Circularity Framework to strengthen industry’s capabilities for designing products, services, systems, and supply chains to be sustainable, by design. This includes drawing upon the knowledge and principles embedded in the Planetary Boundaries Framework and the Doughnut Economics Model. The initiative will make recommendation to the UK government, policymaker and pilot the design framework with industry. I am a passionate advocate for sustainable development and believes that we can create a more sustainable future by designing products, services and supply chains that are more efficient and yet protective of the Earth’s critical natural and ecological systems. I am a strong believer in the power of technology to help us solve and address some of the world’s biggest challenges.

I'm a marketing and digital consultant with 20 years of experience in marketing/communications and 6 in sustainability. I support changemakers that accelerate the transition to a future where people thrive in balance with the living world. I do this via mentoring, leading, steering, overseeing, advising on or evaluating: - Marketing/digital marketing/social media strategies, campaigns, projects and operating plans that improve effectiveness - with the right resources, skills, governance and stakeholder alignment. - Digital marketing audit of channels, platforms, technology, skills or providers against objectives, best practice, competitors or regulation such as the Green Claims Code. - Marketing technology (effective, responsible, ethical use). - Building, bonding, growing, retaining and developing marketing/digital talent and functions. Over the past year, I've been doing research to understand what the most impactful ways are for addressing the intersecting crisis we’re facing (climate, ecology, economy, mental health, etc.) - so I can focus my energy there. Doughnut Economics has stood out as one of the most holistic solutions. I have read the book (and related resources) a few times, watched and attended DEAL workshops and sessions at events. I have also been spreading the word about Doughnut Economics and trying to embed it in my work. Particularly interested in: and joining up marketing and DE

I am a professionally qualified surveyor that recently reached retirement age. I have always been a busy person so am now stepping back from full time to part time working but looking to use the rest of my non family focused time to give some of my many years of life and work experience back to society. The biggest challenge facing us all, and particularly our grandchildren’s children is the future survival of our planet. Thus my focus is to find the best way I can use my experience to add value to that cause.

Born and raised in the heart of Wisconsin, my initial path led me to a career in physiotherapy, and for seven years I dedicated myself to helping individuals regain their physical well-being, but I felt something bigger was calling to me. My passion for sustainability sprouted from the fertile soil of my Wisconsin roots, and as I observed the delicate balance of nature around me, I felt an undeniable calling to protect it. I embarked on a new path - one that would allow me to create a profound impact on a global scale. In pursuit of my newfound passion, I transitioned from the world of physiotherapy to local government, where I learned the intricacies of policy-making and the importance of fostering sustainability practices within communities. As I delved deeper into the world of sustainability, my vision expanded beyond my local surroundings, and I yearned to be at the forefront of the global movement to combat climate change and promote sustainable living. I then embarked on a life-changing journey, relocating to the Netherlands to found The Waste Not Spot, a bridge connecting businesses, not-for-profits and governments to sustainable strategies that transcend borders.
