“…We begin the discussion here with a recap of the analytical aspect of the network abstraction of systems in an urban environment before providing an illustration of their potential policy implications specifically as they relate to a circular-economic context. As previously mentioned, the existing body of literature concerned with urban resource systems and circular-economic potential has mostly focused on the application of such network abstraction of urban systems largely for accounting and diagnostic purposes [22]. The analytical formulation in this work makes explicit a number of system behaviours that while intuitive within the context of such systems are ultimately by-products of the implicit network abstraction underlying the existing empirical studies.…”

“…As previously mentioned, we use the urban network framework developed by Tan et al [21]. This model and the broader family of which it is a member attempt to provide a benchmark for how well the resources available to cities are used [22]. This is often formulated as a system-wide performance metric expressed as the ratio of the portion of resources beneficially consumed to the total resources externally imported and/or newly extracted by the city.…”

“…Thomason & Newman (2018) support the above assessments that the present human generation is facing unprecedented global major challenges including rapid population growth, resource scarcity, climate change, biodiversity loss, increasing consumption patterns, and social inequity. They argue with others, that some grand challenges can be solved by regional solutions as a manifestation of cities' contribution to sustainability (Thomason & Newman, 2018;Cui, 2018). For instance, resource scarcity can be solved by efficient material uses; climate change could be mitigated or solved by reducing energy use; compact city footprints can be a solution to biodiversity loss & encroachment upon rural land and so on (Cui, 2018).…”

In addition, Beloin-Saint-Pierre et al (2017) also argued that urban activities are managed at sub-national level and effective sub-national level actions could help us address global environmental issues.…”
