Alexander van Leersum

Transition Manager Circular Building at Rotterdam Circulair | The Netherlands

Alexander van Leersum explores the possibilities for innovation in circular construction. This he does by matching circular opportunities with (pilot) projects to learn how this can enable and support system change, impact, and scaling. Imperative to circularity success, Alexander knows, is reducing the complexities ingrained in innovation and change. He acts on this by supporting individuals and teams to embrace novelty and to learn by doing. The opportunities for sustainable changes are abundantly available, Alexander reminds us all, but creating real impact and long-term change has to be driven by people (our beliefs, perceptions, and habits). See him speak at Urban Future to learn how this can be achieved, and how technology can be utilised as a catalyst and enabler.
