We will be a country of 50 million people by 2050.
It means we now need to start stewarding our resources more than ever. And that will only happen if we embrace a circular economy.
CityAge is bringing together the leaders doing just that. We’ll look at the new ideas, technologies and investments that will help us to reduce waste, recycle what we use and reduce our carbon and ecosystem footprints.
JCityAge, in collaboration with TELUS Business, on April 13 took a look at the new practices and technologies that can increase sustainability at the same time as we prepare our cities for as many as 10 million more people.

Anchor Welcome & Introduction
Opening Presentation: How Smart Waste Solutions are Revolutionizing Waste Management
A focus on smart waste systems and how they support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, minimize solid waste sent for disposal, and eliminate contamination of recycling streams, at source. Smart Waste AI (artificial intelligence) is revolutionary and ground-breaking. We will explore:
Panel 1: New Tools for Turning Waste into an Asset
Cameras, sensors, wifi and tech. All things we throw away. Now they are also the technologies that are the basis for innovations in HOW our waste is managed – with sensors, AI and more. Welcome to the waste management revolution.
Presentation: Circular Procurement: The Missing Link
How cities and organizations that integrate circular principles into procurement strategies can close the loop to reduce waste and environmental impact while also creating economic opportunities for sustainable businesses.
Panel 2: How to Build an Urban Circular Economy
Leaders transitioning from a linear take-make-waste economy to a circular reuse-repair-repurpose economy share their insights and lessons learned along the journey.
