Circularity on the move with the YouRban track

The YouRban journey continues to turn circular economy into a shared, tangible and accessible experience.

After the Milan stop, the YouRban truck travelled on to Barcelona and Vienna, bringing material circularity into public spaces, cultural venues and open formats involving citizens, schools, companies and creative communities.

In Barcelona, the programme combined guided tours of the Mobile Plant, co-creation workshops, artistic performances, talks and discussions on technology, materials and sustainability. In Vienna, the path continued with laboratories for students, workshops for kids, guided tours and moments of exchange on how design can help transform waste into new resources.

Led by Prof. Marcello Colledani and his team, the research initiative highlights the value of connecting research, industry, design and society to explore new circular models and make sustainability visible, participatory and actionable.
