CE is defined as regenerative system that minimizes waste, emission, and energy leakage by slowing, closing, and narrowing material and energy loops. In principle, CE departs from the traditional linear model of take-make-use-dispose. As conceived in urban contexts, circular cities offer possibilities to regenerate natural systems, design out waste, and keep products in use. While the CE key principles of reduce, repair, and reuse are essential to the sustainable and inclusive interventions in urban slums, there is lack of case studies exploring the role of place and agency, especially the slum living-CE nexus in global south contexts. In inequitable urban transitions, a nuanced understanding of the synergies between urban slums and the circular economy is not only theoretically relevant for reconceptualizing the slum in urban sustainability discourses but also exert policy and practice ramifications to decidedly figure out how the urban slum phenomenon can foster the sustainable and inclusive development of marginal areas through contextual and people-centered initiatives. 410 0$aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,$x2198-2554 606 $aSustainability 606 $aUrban policy 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSustainability 606 $aUrban Policy 606 $aUrban Economics 606 $aCities, Countries, Regions 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aUrban policy. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aUrban Policy. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aCities, Countries, Regions. 615 24$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a362.5091724 702 $aOkyere$b Seth Asare 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910847578703321 996 $aUrban Slums and Circular Economy Synergies in the Global South$94232487 997 $aUNINA
