🎙️ How Can Data-Driven Thinking Help Cities Make Better Decisions?
In this forward-looking episode, we talk to Christopher Lyrhem, Chief Future Officer at Circular, about how artificial intelligence, usership models, and circular design can revolutionize the way cities and companies operate.
We explore:
•	Why ownership is being replaced by access — and what that means for the future of mobility, housing, and consumption
•	How robots and AI will bring manufacturing back to high-wage countries
•	What "renewable information" and "renewable materials" really mean in practice
•	How incentives shape innovation, and why bold ideas create lasting impact
•	What it takes to build an entrepreneurial culture in Europe — and why the future favors those who start from scratch
This episode is packed with insights on disruption, sustainability, and the deep shifts transforming our cities and economies.
