The Special Issue was initiated to identify promising solutions and specific challenges in the context of underused resources in urban environments. Authors focus on two main areas: the establishment of circular economy schemes based on valorizing wastes that occur in urban areas and the exploitation of renewable energies. The circular economy and renewable resources hold key potential for increasing the sustainability of cities, and the presented studies enhance our understanding of how to unlock this potential. Effective regulatory frameworks and policymaking processes that balance the power between stakeholders are required to successfully manage energy transition and the transition to more circular economies. The positive role of community engagement merits high attention. To recover valuable resources from household waste, a focus on technology and infrastructure is required but is insufficient; motivational factors and knowledge of citizens are the most essential elements. The need to more reliably quantify and better characterize recyclable material streams also evidently remains, especially where population numbers are further growing. This book provides a rich source to explore promising solutions, challenges, and research needed for the sound management of resources in urban settings. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $asource separation of waste 610 $awaste management 610 $ahousehold waste 610 $apolymer recycling 610 $asustainable development 610 $aLagos megacity 610 $avalue chain 610 $awaste-to-wealth 610 $acity planning 610 $aEnergiewende 610 $apost-Brexit 610 $arenewable energy systems 610 $aresource-use policy 610 $asustainable energy transitions 610 $aunderutilised resources 610 $awaste cooking oil 610 $arecycling 610 $abiodiesel 610 $anon-fuel use 610 $aregulatory promotion 610 $acircular economy 610 $aEuropean horse chestnut 610 $aseed coat 610 $aadditive 610 $aantioxidant 610 $aproanthocyanidins 610 $aUV spectrum 610 $aextraction 610 $asize exclusion chromatography 610 $apolyphenols 610 $arenewable energy 610 $aenergy transition 610 $aenergy policies 610 $aurban energy 610 $aparticle size reduction 610 $apre-treatment 610 $ashredding 610 $amechanical?biological treatment 610 $abioprocessing 610 $awastewater management 610 $aenvironmental sustainability 610 $awaste resources 610 $ahousehold solid waste (HSW) 610 $awaste composition analysis 610 $awaste generation rate 610 $asolid waste measurement 610 $aremote sensing 610 $abuilding type 610 $agarden waste arising 610 $agreen waste 610 $ayard waste 610 $ahome composting 610 $abackyard burning 610 $amunicipal and public service engineering 610 $aurban resources 610 $aresource management 610 $asustainable urbanisation 610 $acommunity engagement 610 $asolid waste recycling 610 $aenergy governance 610 $apolicy-making 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aKusch-Brandt$b Sigrid$4edt$01283237 702 $aKusch-Brandt$b Sigrid$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557134403321 996 $aUnderutilised Resources in Urban Environments$93019006 997 $aUNINA
