Circular Principles for Cities

Circular Principles for Cities outlines a structured set of principles and indicators to guide urban transitions toward regenerative and circular systems. Developed through applied research and pilot experiences, the report translates circular economy theory into actionable criteria that cities can use to assess policies, projects, and systemic interventions. Within the Fab City framework, this resource supports the move from vision to implementation by providing reference points for measuring progress in relocalizing production, reducing waste, and strengthening local value chains. It contributes to building a shared language between policy, design, and production, helping territories align circular ambitions with concrete, place-based transformation strategies.
