The urban context may be viewed as a new experimentation space to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Urban symbiosis and the circular economy are emerging concepts attracting more and more attention within the urban context. Moreover, new business models are emerging around sharing and peer-to-peer practices, which are challenging existing roles of actors in society. These developments are having an important impact on the flows of resources and the use of the city infrastructure, and each research area has taken a different perspective in the analysis of such impacts. This Special Issue aims to explore what a ?circular city? could constitute and how and why cities engage in circularity. This Special Issue includes seven high-quality papers on the theories and practices of circular cities. Actors, concepts, methods, tools, the barriers to and enablers of circular cities are discussed and a solid base and inspiration for the future development of circular cities are provided. 517 $aAchieving the Circular Economy 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $acircular economy 610 $abusiness ecosystem 610 $aglocality 610 $amobile phone repair 610 $athe Netherlands 610 $aChina 610 $aPoland 610 $asharing economy 610 $asharing cities 610 $asustainable urban governance 610 $asharing business models 610 $asustainable business models 610 $atextile industry 610 $aenergy footprint 610 $adecoupling 610 $alogarithmic mean Divisia index 610 $aShaoxing 610 $adesign 610 $aindustrial ecology 610 $ainfrastructure 610 $aparticipatory action research 610 $asocio-ecological-technical systems 610 $acooperation 610 $agame theory 610 $amulti-criteria decision analysis 610 $ascenario analysis 610 $aurbanization and climate change 610 $amultilevel logistic regression 610 $acitizens 610 $aextra mitigation behavior 610 $aEU member states 610 $aprofitability analysis 610 $amunicipal solid waste processing 610 $aincineration 610 $awaste recycling 610 $atorrefaction 610 $aCOVID-19 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aPalm$b Jenny$4edt$01287937 702 $aBocken$b Nancy$4edt 702 $aPalm$b Jenny$4oth 702 $aBocken$b Nancy$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557413603321 996 $aAchieving the Circular Economy$93020583 997 $aUNINA
