A Geodesign Decision Support Environment for Integrating Management of Resource Flows in Spatial Planning

Improving waste and resource management entails working on interrelations between different material flows, territories and groups of actors. This calls for new decision support tools for translating the complex information on flows into accessible knowledge usable by stakeholders in the spatial pla...
