As part of the CircularityOptimizer project, AEE INTEC is developing an interactive technology catalog for designing resilient, circular urban systems. Based on the web-based planning tool URBAN MENUS developed by BUSarchitektur, symbiotic green technologies and resilient urban scenarios are modeled and integrated. The goal is to develop a master plan for productive cities and districts and establish an impact analysis for both private and public sectors. Technical and economic parameters will be linked with eco-social indicators, providing a comprehensive view of circular systems.
An interdisciplinary consortium, consisting of Austrian and Chinese partners, combines expertise in green building, circularity, and symbiosis research. Pilot projects in Jiangyin (China) and Weiz-Gleisdorf (Austria) are being developed and demonstrated in URBAN MENUS. The project fosters long-term R&D and economic partnerships between China and Austria, opening market potentials in the construction sector, green technologies, and beyond.
