City governments have a key role to play in building thriving, liveable, and resilient cities that are regenerative by design. By embedding circular economy principles into urban policy levers, cities can bring about changes to the use and management of materials in cities; and urban priorities around access to housing, mobility and economic development can also be met in a way that supports prosperity, jobs, health, and communities.

In this assessment, you will be evaluated on your capacity to advise policy levers and business strategies for a transition towards a circular city for Singapore.

Note that your write up for Q1 should preferably not exceed 2,000 words.
