title = {What can we learn about the Circular Economy from Cities?},
year = {2025},
note = {This article explores the role of cities in advancing the circular
economy (CE), drawing on insights from experts in five mid-sized
European cities. While cities contribute significantly to global
pollution, they also have the resources and influence to drive
impactful CE initiatives. Key lessons include the importance of strong
political and societal support, piloting circular practices
internally, and integrating circular principles into urban planning.
Collaboration with local businesses and research institutes, as well
as adapting successful strategies from other cities, can further
facilitate effective implementation. These insights offer actionable
guidance for cities, policymakers, and other stakeholders seeking to
refine and strengthen their CE efforts.},
