Re-weaving threads for a circular economy: Spatio-temporal dynamics of the textile and clothing sector in Rotterdam
The ambition of achieving a circular economy (CE) brings with it renewed challenges in implementing systemic change in a context reluctant to abandon ‘business as usual’, but in which the urgency to transform linear production patterns into circular ones grows ever stronger. Taking a holistic ecosystem approach to circularising economies, re-localising key supply chain activities offers opportunities, while also challenging the system. This artic…
The Delft scales to aspects circular built environment model: The result of two years of interdisciplinary discussions
This paper presents the findings of an interdisciplinary academic exchange exploring the transition towards a circular built environment (CBE), developed over two years of collaborative work at Delft University of Technology’s Circular Built Environment Hub. A key outcome of this work is developing a comprehensive definition of the CBE and the related Scales to Aspects model, which connects the multi-scalar and cross-disciplinary nature of circul…
Circular city policy coherence in Greater London
As circular economy policies are adopted to tackle unsustainable built environment patterns related to carbon emissions and inefficient use of resources, scholars warn about the inadequacy of such policies to support sustainable urban development. Siloed circular economy policies in the built environment have focused on applying circular strategies to construction practices. However, cities as complex adaptive systems require systemic interventio…
Friends with benefits: The emergence of the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp (ARA) polycentric port region
This paper enacts a dialogue between planning literature on polycentric urban regions (PUR) and port geography literature on multi-port gateways. The main proposition is that polycentric systems are the emergent outcome of the interactions between three dimensions of polycentricity: morphological, functional and institutional. The focus is on the Dutch-Belgian Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) port-industrial region: one of the world's largest co…
