The Urban-CoLLaR project, coordinated by Bilkent University, is the first DUT project led by a Turkish institution. Supported for 36 months with a budget of approximately \u20ac1.8 million, the project brings together partners from six countries and aims to strengthen the decision-making capacity of municipalities and developers in applying circular strategies for sustainable urban transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through its leadership in Urban-CoLLaR, Bilkent University continues to contribute to international efforts toward sustainable, circular and resource-efficient cities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
