Lexicon E17:
BEING PART OF A TERRITORIAL/URBAN METABOLISM

Territorial/Urban Metabolism is based on an organic metaphor that compares territories to human bodies: to ensure their vital functions, they need to draw on materials and energy, which they consume, transform and then excrete. We speak of Circular Metabolism when the (incoming and outgoing) flows circulate mainly within a territorial system, and of Linear Metabolism when they overflow the study area.
