Zola interviews Steven Liaros to discuss the importance and the roadmap to create a network of Circular Economy Villages (CEV).
These villages aim to integrate private housing development with public infrastructure to alleviate stress on local governments and create sustainable, regenerative rural and peri-urban communities.

The episode highlights the benefits of this model for rural areas and its role in enabling local governments to collaborate efficiently.
The discussion also covers the strategic planning and financial strategies that are key to making these villages a reality.
