Description

A practical and interdisciplinary guide to creating liveable, circular economy cities. Practical strategies enhance the book's theoretical exploration of circular economies, providing a solution-oriented perspective on creating more resilient, environmentally sustainable and liveable cities. The chapter authors offer interdisciplinary perspectives on the transformative potential of circular economies when incorporating ecological and social aspects with innovative technologies. The topics covered range from sustainable agriculture and water management to renewable energy and environmental justice. Case studies of cities from around the world promote effective best practices in circular economy implementations across diverse cities, including Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Vancouver, Sydney, the Hague, Barcelona, and Stockholm. This book introduces and discusses the 5R framework - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore, Recover - as a guiding principle, elaborating its applications across various urban sectors. This book is indispensable for advanced students, researchers, city planners, and policymakers working in urban planning and sustainable development.
