 Abstract

Urban policymakers face more complex issues than ever before in developing a socially-, economically- and environmentally sustainable cities. Some cities have already started transitioning towards a circular economy in this endeavor. This research explores the ways in which four pioneering cities have started navigating this transition, and uses design thinking to understand their needs and experiences. As a result, it offers a number of helpful, practical frameworks as well as a model for the design thinking process, adapted specifically for the purpose of the development of a circular city.
