Urban Circularity Assessment
Urban Circularity Assessment
The CityLoops project was a Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019 to 2023. It focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW).
The Urban Circularity Assessment is an urban material flow and stock accounting method paired with system-wide indicators to assess the material circularity of a city. The overarching aim of the UCA is to monitor progress toward a circular economy from an economy-wide perspective at the city level, rather than just at the level of individual products or sectors. Only at this scale can system-wide effects like displacement and rebound be captured, as well as the determination made whether absolute reductions in resource use and waste flows have been accomplished or are feasible.
