“…Fourth, an intersectional environmental lens that incorporates non-Western and Indigenous circularity discourses about sustaining or restoring natural life cycles (Friant et al, 2020 ) may be appropriate in differing global and local contexts. As such, lived experiences of residents may be gathered to examine potential concerns such as rising real estate prices, taxes, and gentrification in the surrounding neighborhood, since the “circularity discourse is not universal” (Wuyts and Marin, 2022 , p. 11).…”

Most attention on stadium or arena-anchored development projects is placed on the scope and construction of the new sports facility, while less emphasis is on the facility left behind, which we describe as shadow stadia. Some shadow stadia are repurposed for mixed use development, others are demolished but have delayed redevelopment plans, while some remain abandoned and empty for years after the professional sports team or event is no longer present in the facility. The environmental impacts of shadow stadia are not fully understood, as limited research exists on how the immediate neighborhood anchored by pre-existing venues cope in the shadows of these new development plans and the loss of a sport venue and its events. Green strategies such as the circular economy may extend the lifecycle of existing sport faciltiies. To contribute to this discussion further, this perspective article will first discuss current advances in the academic literature on the circular economy. Second, it will present a comprehensive categorization of shadow stadia globally and future opportunities on integrating circularity into best practices. By doing so, this perspective article highlights several areas of future investigation that should be considered and planned for when major league sports teams and city leaders move their team and build new facilities.

“…In addition, we found reference to "cultural mind-set", for example, "frugality" or "sober living", "slow living", "slow working", and "sufficient living". Although these are positive aspects, their effect on community poverty and disadvantage should also be critically examined [46]. Furthermore, there is a need for trust, cooperation, and an entrepreneurial mind-set for the development of RCPs (e.g.…”

Recently, there has been an increase in circular cities and research on the concrete meaning of circularity at the city mesolevel. However, circular solutions or requirements for rural areas are often overlooked. This can be explained by the dominant deterritorialized and sectoral approach in circularity research, policy, and practice, which isolates places, people, and practices. The point of departure of our study is that circular cities can only thrive if their related rural areas are healthy, as they are interdependent. Within this context, we develop a framework that contributes to the conceptualisation of circular neighbourhoods and infrastructure in rural areas. We use a literature review to build on the findings of circularity research in Japan, Belgium, Finland, and Norway, and distil predefined categories for deductive analysis. We validate the deductive analysis by a further inductive analysis of the literature. Our review focuses on how the existing built environment (buildings, roads, and other infrastructure) can increase the vitality of rural areas to enable rural circularity practices (RCPs). In addition, we propose new directions for future research on circular neighbourhoods in rural areas, preferably in symbiosis with circular cities.

“…Dans la mesure où il s'agit de situer et de comprendre les transitions par rapport au paysage diversifié de l'EC dans la RBC, la présente étude va au-delà des entreprises à but lucratif qui cantonnent l'EC au seul monde des affaires et qui ont tendance à dépolitiser le débat [Corvellec et al, 2021], et repère les parties prenantes qui jouent un rôle important quoique invisible [Wuyts et Marin, 2022]. Cette approche met en avant le rôle de l'innovation sociale, en soulignant l'action des habitants dans l'initiation et la progression des transitions vers l'économie circulaire [Hobson, 2016].…”
