 Hello and welcome back to the Metabolism of Cities YouTube channel. I'm Aristide and in this video I'm gonna show you an interview series that we did explaining what has happened in the urban metabolism field in Brussels and Flanders over the last five years. So Urban metabolism is not new in Brussels. It already happened almost 40 more than 40 years ago with studies from Duvignon and his team where they analyzed all of the flows entering and exiting Brussels. However, after this period of five to ten years, it kind of disappeared for 40 years and the field reemerged around the early 2010s, 2012, something like that, and 2015, well 2014 and 2015 we did a study for Brussels's capital region measuring the flows and entering and exiting the region. Since then this field has been used quite a lot by researchers, policy makers, practitioners and this interview series interviewed all of these people using this term to better understand how do they use it, how this field has evolved over the last five years and also what are the different uses that these people have well have used to in this concept. We also asked all of these people to understand how do they see the field in the future in the let's say next five years and how this community of people could consolidate in order to better collaborate but also build on top of each other rather than having individual contributions that make islands. We hope you're gonna enjoy this interview series. Please click on the subscribe of our YouTube channel in order not to miss any of these videos. Thanks a lot and see you in the next one. Cheers!
