To this end, cities and regions will be instrumental in promoting circularity<br \/>\nthrough engagement with key actors and integration of circular economy (CE) goals within their<br \/>\npolicies and spatial plans. To support this effort, it is essential to develop appropriate metrics and tools<br \/>\nfor evaluating the progress and transition towards a circular economy. Although numerous new assessment<br \/>\nmethodologies have been suggested (Corona et al., 2019), they generally focus on quantitatively assessing<br \/>\nhow circular a project, system, or business is, or on evaluating the extent to which circular strategies align<br \/>\nwith the principles of a circular economy. Current metrics rarely extend beyond material sustainability<br \/>\nassessments, which means they often do not capture the complexity of the CE transition and lack<br \/>\na comprehensive, integrated perspective. In particular, what they omit are the spatial (Williams, 2020),<br \/>\nthe governance (Korhonen et al., 2018) and the social dimensions (Pitk\u00e4nen et al., 2020). In this paper, we<br \/>\npropose a holistic transition assessment tool developed and tested across several metropolitan regions,<br \/>\nincluding Amsterdam, Naples, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Hamburg and P\u00e9cs, being at different stages of the circular economy<br \/>\ntransition. The final version of the tool was applied in two cases, the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area<br \/>\nand the city of Tomasz\u00f3w Mazowiecki. The tool focuses on five dimensions: (1) governance structures,<br \/>\n(2) awareness, comprehensiveness of the sustainability assessment, (3) tools for measuring material<br \/>\nstocks and flows as well as (4) for co-creation of solutions and strategies with stakeholders, and (5) circular<br \/>\nbuilt environment. The results of applying the tool in a series of workshops with regional CE stakeholders<br \/>\nAlexander Wandl, Marcin D\u0105browski, Gilda Berruti, Arianne Acke, Andreas Obersteg,<br \/>\nViktor Varj\u00fa, Sue Ellen Taelman, Alessandro Arlati, Ma\u0142gorzata Grodzicka-Kowalczyk, Maciej Kowalczyk<br \/>\nallow for exploring the following questions: What is the state of the transition towards CE in European<br \/>\nurban regions from a holistic perspective? What hinders these transitions? And how to identify means<br \/>\nto overcome those barriers? The assessment tool is of interest for regional and urban policy-makers,<br \/>\nplanners and stakeholders engaged in development of CE strategies and policies. What is more, the results<br \/>\npresented in the paper allow for comparative insights into the state of transition towards CE and for drawing<br \/>\nlessons on what it takes to nudge the development of regions and cities towards circularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-Author of the paper is Viktor Varj\u00fa <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13054,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[196,216],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-publications"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
