Bridging circularity and inclusion in urban metabolic transitions: Through the lens of waste system evolution in Almere, the Netherlands
Waste is a key material stock and flow in urban metabolism, and circular economy (CE) strategies are increasingly promoted to enhance resource efficiency and reduce environmental burdens. Yet CE practices do not always evolve in harmony with dynamic social needs, leading to exclusionary outcomes. To examine how circularity and inclusion interact in urban metabolic transitions, this paper analyses the evolution of Almere's waste system from the 19…
Taking Up Some Space: How Urban Space Use Supports Material Circularity in Outdoor Public Spaces
Circular urban design is vital for developing the urban environment amidst intense urbanization, resource depletion, and climate change. Recent studies indicate that using urban space effectively is a necessity to promote circularity in the built environment. Yet, so far, discussions on the use of space within the circular economy have hardly shown its value beyond financial terms and enabling the circularity of buildings. To better capture the n…
Navigating lock-ins for adaptation: A case study of grid capacity planning in the Dutch energy transition
Lock-ins are typically seen as barriers to sustainability transitions, particularly in the energy sector, where they can impede the radical changes needed for decarbonization. This study, however, argues that lock-ins can also act as catalysts for innovation within grid operators’ operational practices. Focusing on a Distribution System Operator (DSO) in Central-North Netherlands, the research explores how material, behavioural, and institutional…
Infrastructure in Transitions: A Systematic Review of How Infrastructure Influences and is Influenced by Sustainability Transitions
Understanding the current status and historical path dependencies of infrastructures is crucial for planning future interventions in sustainability transitions. However, studies that examine the interplay between sustainability transitions and civil infrastructures remain limited. This paper presents a systematic review of 97 empirical studies that analyze how infrastructure systems and sustainability transitions influence one another. Infrastruc…

The societal strength of transition: A critical review of the circular economy through the lens of inclusion
Realizing a circular economy (CE) has been widely recognized by practitioners and researchers as the key to the transition toward sustainability. Thus far the academic emphasis has been predominantly on economic and environmental aspects. However, the development and implementation of CE initiatives actually rely on extensive collaboration at the societal level. Hence, an understanding of how a more inclusive society can strengthen the transition…
Conceptualizing community in energy systems: A systematic review of 183 definitions
Mapping key features and dimensions of the inclusive city: A systematic bibliometric analysis and literature study
Many local governments engaging in sustainable urban development also have a growing interest in becoming inclusive too, brand themselves as such and develop policies to become inclusive cities. However, knowing what exactly this entails and how it can be achieved is not always quite straightforward and requires thorough theoretical and empirical exploration. Consequently, we present a systematic deconstruction of the inclusive city concept in or…
The battle of the buzzwords: A comparative review of the circular economy and the sharing economy concepts
Circular economy (CE) and sharing economy (SE) are much discussed concepts but potential links between them have not been examined systematically so far. The concepts’ popularity coupled with a lack of definitional consensus may hinder their potential to advance sustainability transitions. Hence, the first comparative bibliometric study of these two concepts was carried out. It was found that they share notable links in the fields of sustainabili…
Input-Output Modeling for Smart City Development
While many national and local governments in the world are placing their bets on smart city development in countering challenges such as climate change, air pollution, and congestion, few know exactly how to develop them in practice. A high and rising number of publications has appeared addressing the concept of “smart city,” but not many address its implementation. This paper aims at a conceptual understanding of the smart city by describing its…
Economic city branding and stakeholder involvement in China: Attempt of a medium-sized city to trigger industrial transformation
Among known studies of city branding by Chinese megacities to realise urban transformation, there is no explorative study of how smaller Chinese cities engage in city branding and attempt to trigger industrial transformation. In response, this article presents an in-depth case study of city branding processes in a medium-sized Chinese city. Roles, resources and interactions among the city's stakeholders are analysed during the brand creation and …
The Smart City as Global Discourse: Storylines and Critical Junctures across 27 Cities
Despite its growing ubiquitous presence, the smart city continues to struggle for definitional clarity and practical import. In response, this study interrogates the smart city as global discourse network by examining a collection of key texts associated with cities worldwide. Using a list of 5,553 cities, a systematic webometric exercise was conducted to measure hit counts produced by searching for “smart city.” Consequently, 27 cities with the …
