Spatial Parameters for Circular Construction Hubs: Location Criteria for a Circular Built Environment

Abstract: Implementing a circular economy in cities has been proposed by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability in the construction sector. One strategy that has gained interest by both policy makers and companies is to develop “circular construction hubs”: locations that collect, store, and redistribute waste as secondary resources. However, there is limited literature taking a spatially explicit view, identifying the spatial parameters that could affect the locations of hubs both for now an… Show more

“…Speculative mapping or cartography is a tool to make the future or frontier visible for extracting potential resources (Noterman 2022). In the circularity context, this frontier could be possible locations of reclaimable secondary materials or circular infrastructure (Tsui et al 2023). Speculative mapping is often used in urban planning.…”

“…In the Netherlands, construction and demolition companies have responded to policy goals for a more circular built environment by starting circular construction hubs: facilities that collect, store, process, and redistribute construction waste to be reused as secondary construction materials 24,25 . The goal of this paper is to determine what spatial scale circular construction hubs should be operating at.…”

“…On one hand, small-scale hubs minimize transportation distances due to smaller service areas. On the other hand, large-scale hubs maximize supply and demand matchingthe larger the service area of a hub, the more likely there will be a match between a demolition site supplying secondary material and a construction site demanding it 25 . Spatial simulated annealing was used as an optimization algorithm to determine the optimal number and locations of circular timber hubs in the MRA for the study period of 2022-2026.…”
