Metabolism of Cities: an invitation to explore Nature’s metabolisms & the metabolisms of our Built worlds; discovering the problems and finding the opportunities for true sustainability. Our built environments, driven by consumption, mimic and employ part of Nature’s metabolism, but disconnect from it at the point where we create the waste stream. This disconnection triggers a cascade of issues socially, culturally, environmentally, and economically. Metabolism of Nature runs the living planet with each organism playing its part; sustaining, optimizing, recovering, breaking and building, under the unnegotiable laws of Nature. SOILS: are the dynamic force supporting all life that runs the planet. Integrating them back into the built environment reconnects us to the non-built environments, making soils the fundamental opportunity for metabolism repair, enabling true sustainable development for human and environmental health & wellness. This is a platform bringing together different disciplines, sectors, and backgrounds for discussion and building action items together. We are inviting you to bring your projects, ideas, research, stories, and explorations to share. Soils Unite!

Increasing population and climate change directly affect water related subjects such as water quality, scarcity, resource recovery. Even innovative developments in water/wastewater area, there are many technology developments in the lab-, pilot- scale which cannot reach the water market. Eco-STP 2025 aims to bring the professionals from both academia and industry to discuss the cutting-edge technologies in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment including water, energy and material recovery, sustainability, sewage epidemiology, governmental decision mechanisms.
