Abstract

Urban development requires a distinct understanding of the existing situations as well as a vision of the future district to be able to develop suitable pathways for a sustainable transition. The debate conducted so far highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of the different aspects of circular economy (CE) principles impacting the sustainability, in particular what needs to be done with regard to environmental sustainability in cities and regions. To be able to build a representative methodology for integrated sustainability assessments the concept of Planetary Boundaries (PB) was selected as a framework to analyze how to establish a holistic sustainability evaluation based on CE. Previous work showed that although some principles have already been identified and implemented, several relevant trigger points of PB have not been considered yet. By combining CE methods, urban planners and policymakers can gain a holistic understanding of the impacts of urban districts on planetary boundaries. This knowledge can inform sustainable urban development strategies that minimize environmental harm, promote resource efficiency, and enhance the well-being of urban communities.
