Regions, Cities and the Circular Economy

Theory and Practice
This timely book presents a theoretical and practical reflection on the circular economy and its potential to reduce, reuse and recycle for the world of tomorrow. Investigating how to avoid resource depletion, it provides an in-depth study into how cities and regions have engaged with this concept in an effort to enhance resource efficiency and minimise environmental damage.

An array of expert contributors emphasise the critical role of individuals and communities in transitioning toward a circular society, establishing the importance of local actions alongside stakeholder and societal engagement. The critical impact of policymaking and collaborative efforts in fostering circular economic activities is also examined, including comparisons of regional approaches and the development of inclusive strategies to address challenges. Regions, Cities and the Circular Economy further analyses the key drivers and issues when safeguarding natural resources, reducing waste and energy usage, and fostering an ecologically virtuous and socially equitable society.

This engaging book is an essential read for scholars of geography, economics and urban and city planning. It is also an excellent resource for policymakers and those making key organisational decisions at both local and national levels.
