WELCOME TO THE TURNING POINT
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The Circular Economy presents a significant economic ($26B/year) opportunity for Australia. Open Cities is helping transition our economy to a circular one embracing sharing and reuse businesses, solutions and services like recycled water and waste, shared mobility and data, local renewable energy.
MULTI UTILITIES PRECINCTS
Multi-utility precinct approaches are creating resilient communities and sustainable outcomes. Precinct utility and mobility services allow people a financial stake in their city infrastructure that can benefit them directly.

PROSUMERS
The rise of prosumers (consumer and producer) is enabling people to produce renewable energy and sell it, reuse water and waste, share their mobility and data, putting sustained downward pressure on utility bills.
ABOUT US
Open Cities is a national peak association for circular economy and Next-Gen infrastructure and services. Our members are private sector, cities, research organisations, peak associations working together to transition Australian communities to a zero-carbon future.
Open Cities is working to open our siloed last century markets to new innovative, circular
infrastructure and services like recycled water and waste, local renewable energy and storage, shared and electric mobility. These sharing and reuse businesses and services will drive down utility costs give people more control and deliver a zero-carbon, sustainable future.
OUR MEMBERS
Open Cities members come from the data, energy, mobility, waste, water and telco industries, smart city designers and advocates, governments and peak associations. Members can participate in our campaigns, initiatives and events and contribute to the future direction and growth of Open Cities.
