Moving Towards the Circular Economy/City Model: Which Tools for Operationalizing This Model?

Abstract: As the world continues to urbanize, identifying and implementing new urban development models and strategies is necessary to face sustainable development challenges. To this end, the circular economy model can be implemented in cities in order to operationalize and achieve human sustainable development managing simultaneously, in a systemic perspective, the social inequalities issue and the ecological and economic crisis. Today there are many cities that are defining themselves as a “circular city” but, to dat… Show more

“…This study is conducted under the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), which funds the research Action 'CA17133 -Implementing NBS for creating a resourceful circular city'. The circular city model recognises the importance of organising the city's systems in an analogy to the organisation of natural systems and it incorporates the principles of the circular economy, establishing an urban system that is regenerative and accessible (Girard & Nocca 2019). This study aims to offer a brief review on NBS for UWM, together with a description of some relevant projects running within the action.…”

“…The waterfront assumes significance as a symbolic space of urban identity based on new hubs of cultural capital [10]. The waterfront ecosystem can be both an urban infrastructure and a public space of the city, thus, becoming a fundamental element to capture the urban dynamics [11][12][13][14][15]. The regeneration of waterfront ecosystems is an extraordinary opportunity to promote endogenous economic development, encourage the creation of new economic activities and dynamited existing ones [16].…”

“…The circular city is becoming a new practice for sustainable urban development. Some researchers proposed an evaluation index system for the circular city [57,58]. Others [59] applied the concept of the circular city to the practice of the recycling seaport, and evaluated its performance.…”
