“…The Circular City is based on the dynamic principles of the circular economy [1,2]. In particular, with Circular Economy (CE) being a contested concept, a single universal definition of the CE is probably impossible, as the concept is also dynamic, constantly evolving [3] and interdisciplinary [4,5].…”

More Circular City in the Energy and Ecological Transition: A Methodological Approach to Sustainable Urban Regeneration

Cities consume over 75% of natural resources, produce over 50% of global waste, and emit 60–80% of greenhouse gases. The scenario that by 2050 two thirds of the world population will live in cities, highlights how cities are still responsible for the growing consumption characterized by linear economic processes, with the production of various types of waste. In this unsustainable framework, the Circular Economy offers the opportunity to shape the urban system by means of rethinking the possibility to produce and use goods and services, exploring new ways to ensure long-term prosperity. The Circular City paradigm contains in fact all the principles of the Circular Economy: recovery, recycling, and sharing. In particular, Circular City also introduces actions related to the development of renewable energy communities, use of green materials, CO2 absorption approaches, and Proximity Cities. This work aims to develop a methodology to build a composite index (Circular City Index) capable of measuring the degree of implementation of urban policies that may enable an ecological transition of public assets. Circular City Index was applied to the military cluster of the city of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), a significant case study to guide circular policies in public properties for civil and military uses.

“…Additionally, the adoption of CE principles can lead to the creation of new jobs, new sources of income, cost savings, and reduced exposure to risk, with tangible advantages in terms of competitiveness (Enel Distribución Chile et al, 2023). Nonetheless, despite the recognized advantages, a research gap exists regarding the implementation and impact of CE principles within urban settings (Cavaleiro de Ferreira & Fuso-Nerini, 2019;Domenech & Borrion, 2022;Petit-Boix & Leipold, 2018;Vanhuyse et al, 2021). Therefore, further investigation is warranted to delve into the intricate dynamics of circular cities, enabling a comprehensive understanding of their potential and informing evidence-based strategies for their successful adoption.…”

Towards circular cities -exploring the circular economy approach in context of municipal solid waste 1 W kierunku miast o obiegu zamkniętym -badanie podejścia gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym w kontekście stałych odpadów komunalnych StreszczenieCelem tego badania jest ustalenie -na podstawie różnych wskaźników i obecnej charakterystyki miasta -czy badane miasto w kraju rozwijającym się realizuje model "miasta o obiegu zamkniętym". Analizowanym miastem była Xalapa, stolica stanu Veracruz w Meksyku. Aby osiągnąć nasze cele badawcze, zastosowaliśmy metodologię jakościową. Przeprowadziliśmy wywiady z przedstawicielem rządu odpowiedzialnym za zarządzanie stałymi odpadami komunalnymi w wyznaczonym okresie, a także z właścicielami 18 najbardziej znanych prywatnych centrów zbiórki odpadów. Ponadto uzyskaliśmy odpowiednie informacje od rządu za pośrednictwem platformy przejrzystości. Do naszej oceny wykorzystaliśmy wskaźniki dotyczące odpadów dostarczone przez L. Girarda i F. Noccę. Nasza analiza wskazuje, że badane miasto nie znajduje się na ścieżce prowadzącej do przyjęcia modelu "miasta o obiegu zamkniętym". Jednak kontekst stałych odpadów komunalnych (MSW) oferuje cenne sugestie dotyczące przyszłego wdrażania praktyk gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym (CE). Wyniki przedstawione w tym badaniu oferują istotne spostrzeżenia dla badaczy w innych krajach rozwijających się, którzy również są zaangażowani w badanie omawianych zagadnień. Ponadto wnioski wyciągnięte z tego badania mają znaczenie dla miast w krajach rozwijających się, ponieważ zmagają się one z degradacją środowiskową i gospodarczą podobnie jak badane miasto.

Cities consume over 75% of natural resources, produce over 50% of global waste and emit 60 - 80% of greenhouse gases. The scenario that by 2050 two thirds of the world population will live in cities, highlights how cities are still responsible of the growing consumption characterized by linear economy processes, with the production of various types of waste. In this unsustainable framework, the Circular Economy offers the opportunity to shape the urban system by means of rethinking the possibility to produce and use goods and services exploring new ways to ensure long-term prosperity. The Circular City paradigm contains in fact all the principles of the Circular Economy: recovery, recycling and sharing. In particular, Circular City also introduces actions related to the development of renewable energy communities, use of green materials, CO2 absorption approaches and Proximity Cities. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology to build a composite index (Circular City Index) capable of measuring the degree of implementation of urban policies that enable the territory to initiate an ecological transition of public assets. The city of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) represents the case study to apply circular urban policies in public properties, for civil and military use.
