【 摘 要 】

Wood is a natural material, largely used in the construction sector and for a number of daily life uses to make furniture or tools. Its stock is concentrated in urban area where are the majority of population and human activities [1]. In Brussels, wood represents the third important material used in construction sector [2]. Wood presents diverse circular advantages as a removable assembly, diversity and ease of use. Wood in Molenbeek" (WIM) project (2017-2020) is a multi-disciplinary research project in Molenbeek's district (Heyvaert) where social and environmental issues are encountered. The aim of the project is to perform a wood material outflow and stock analysis and to assess if a local wood valorisation can be a circular solution in the regional waste management and the resilience of the district. This wood valorisation model is created with the inhabitants. Consequently, the model evolves with their remarks and ideas. The quantification is realized with a bottom-up approach to present more accurate information than regional data. Indeed, local quantification illustrates some invisible flows by using census, observations, discussions with inhabitants, social and economic actors. The bottom-up approach gives the opportunity to work with local actors to build a "circular" network in a district.
