This innovative hub serves as a model for a circular and \u2018blue\u2019 economy, fostering sustainable practices within the city and surrounding region. Since 2015, BlueCity has housed 55 start-ups that operate on the principles of the \u201cBlue Economy.\u201d The \u201cBlue Economy\u201d is inspired by the natural ecosystem\u2019s functional laws, viewing emissions and waste as resources. Unlike the \u201cCircular Economy,\u201d which focuses on a single cycle, the \u201cBlue Economy\u201d aims to interconnect multiple cycles. Companies within BlueCity strive to utilize locally available, renewable resources through innovation and entrepreneurship. One notable example is \u201cRotterzwam,\u201d a mushroom farm that uses coffee grounds from nearby cafes to cultivate oyster mushrooms. These mushrooms serve as food or natural insulation, while the waste heat from cultivation is used by another company to warm its spirulina algae production. This symbiotic relationship exemplifies how one company\u2019s waste can become another\u2019s resource. BlueCity is situated in the former Tropicana swimming pool, renovated by the architectural studio Superuse following circular architecture principles. The transformed space now includes various office areas, workshops, studios, the FoodHub, and Biolabs. The expansive former pool area also hosts numerous events. Beyond its physical infrastructure, BlueCity supports startups from the prototype phase to real production. Guided tours for visitors and international companies help spread the concept of the Blue Economy, demonstrating its practical application within BlueCity. Overall, BlueCity in Rotterdam stands as an inspiring example of how cities, in collaboration with various stakeholders, can efficiently utilize resources to build a sustainable economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table alignright is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">thanks to:<br><br><\/td><td><a href=\"http:\/\/emmavanderleest.com\">Emma van der Leest<\/a> <br>from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecity.nl\">BlueCity<\/a> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">project:<br><br><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burg-halle.de\/gast\/projects\/the-plant-project-resilience-part-ii\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"8738\">The Plant Project <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burg-halle.de\/gast\/projects\/the-plant-project-resilience-part-ii\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"8738\">\u2013 Resilience Part II<br><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">year:<\/td><td>2024<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">text by:<\/td><td>Leah Messerschmidt<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:62px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excursion: BlueCity with Emma van der Leest 21.03.2024, Rotterdam (NL) During our excursion to Rotterdam, designer Emma van der Leest guided us through BlueCity.
