Abstract
The Zuidoost district is divided in mono-functional zones, such as housing in the Bijlmer and Holendrecht area and working in the Amstel III area. The Upcycling Centre Zuidoost will connect both sides in the future of 2050 in a physical, social and economic way. This is done by creating a building that becomes the driver of the circular economy. It is a place where waste is transported to and sorted, whereafter start-ups will upcycle the waste into new products. The start-ups will create new sustainable jobs to fight the high unemployment rate in Zuidoost and generate new local economic value. Program such as a market, shops and a restaurant will form an attractive and easily approachable building and creates social inclusion and interaction between all the different users.
