城市化和气候变化促使城市规划通往可持续未来的新道路。许多城市正在转向诱人的“循环经济”(CE)概念来指导这种重新定向。CE概念重新设想了资源在经济体中的流动可能是“封闭的”。在这里,我们通过以下问题来探讨这个新的“循环城市”议程:城市如何将节能作为一种战略?我们发现,政治领导、建立可适应的未来愿景、使用实验方法(如生活实验室)、发展有关资源利用的背景知识以及与不同利益相关者接触是很重要的。然而,我们也发现,对于什么是循环城市缺乏共识,需要进一步理清循环城市概念的方式和原因。该研究通过概述紧急案例、确定一套共同的政策策略、概念化循环城市和确定未来研究的领域,为该领域做出了贡献。(C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Urbanisation and climate change are urging cities to chart novel paths towards sustainable futures. Many cities are turning to the alluring 'circular economy' (CE) concept to guide this redirection. The CE concept re-imagines how flows of resources moving through economies might be 'closed'. Here, we explore this new 'circular city' agenda by asking: How are cities adopting CE as a strategy?. We found that political leadership, building adaptable future visions, using experimental approaches (such as living labs), developing contextual knowledge about resource use, and engaging with diverse stakeholders to be important. However, we also expose that there is a lack of consensus on what a circular city constitutes and a need to further untangle the how and why of the circular city concept. The research contributes to the field by outlining emergent cases, identifying a set of common policy strategies, conceptualising a circular city and identifying areas for future research.
