Short summary
A circular city is built upon the principles of circular economy, which key concepts are reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover. However, the sources, types and available quantities of insufficiently used resources in cities are currently not well documented. A site resource inventory of infrastructural and building-specific parameters has the potential to enhance the circular city’s information flow and thus support both companies in their site decisions and municipalities in the planning process.
