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.

We are all economists, so here I am! Professionaly educated as a journalist. Some years ago, the climate crisis and biodiversity crisis made me start spending all my spare time on politics. Meanwhile, I have realised that politicians in Denmark don't do politics. They just do what economists say. So now I want to become a 21st century economist.

I am a biologist with a Master's degree in Forestry Sciences, and I have devoted 25 years of my career to protecting life. I believe in the power of collaboration and have used my expertise, skills, and network of partners to support initiatives that seek to regenerate and promote sustainable models for creating a new green economy that benefits both people and the planet. Throughout my career, I have worked in various sectors in Brazil, including research corporations, the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, the private sector, and WWF Brazil, as well as with NGOs. I find inspiration in travelling, being in nature, reading various books, engaging in conversations with friends, and staying active through yoga or other sports, which allow me to rejuvenate and bring new ideas and innovation to my work.

I am studying economics, sustainability and social design as part of my master's degree. As part of my master's thesis, I am applying the Donught Economy to the planning of a city district. To ensure the attunement of the citizens I also use elements of Future Literacy. In my spare time, I advocate for Degrowth by spreading permaculture micro-gardening in urban spaces for more food sovereignty. In addition, I have been campaigning for a job guarantee in the social-ecological sector at European level for the last 3 years. In this context, I have published a study in cooperation with several NGOs across Europe.
