Urban Agenda for the EU: Final Reports on Urban Circular Collaborative Initiatives

© ESPON
Cities and regions face numerous challenges linked to sustainability including climate change, economic growth and social exclusion. Circular economy can help to respond to these challenges by reducing and managing the use of resources effectively, contributing to business innovation and reducing emissions. Aimed at creating a common understanding of the Urban and Circular Collaborative Economy across European territories, this ESPON Targeted Analysis provides policy makers with evidence of the impacts of Urban Circular Collaborative Economy initiatives focusing on six different territories. In doing so, the report goes beyond large collaborative economy platforms (e.g. Uber, Airbnb) to draw attention to the success of smaller local initiatives.
