Going Circular explores the concept of a circular economy (CE) and its transformative potential for cities and regions. It emphasises the importance of spatial planning and the role of urban and regional authorities in driving the transition to a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive economic and societal model. The authors offer a critical perspective, arguing that there is no onesize-fits-all approach to regional and urban CE policies. Instead, they advocate for a context-specific understanding of CE, emphasising the importance of: local and regional conditions for circular activities; the spatial patterns in resource stocks and flows within territories, and the need to engage a range of stakeholders and communities in decision-making processes.
Going Circular tackles the pivotal policy issues and challenges related to CE transitions in cities and regions. It will inform and equip public and private policymakers, urban planners and regional authorities with the knowledge and tools needed to foster a CE and nudge cities and regions towards sustainable futures.
Despite extensive data and knowledge available on cities and regions, terms such as 'circularity', 'economy' and 'space' often remain disjointed for researchers, policymakers and practitioners alike. This book presents a frank and insightful exploration of the spatial dimension of the circular economy, challenging assumptions and idealisms. It provides practical opportunities for action by underscoring the importance of geopolitics, empathy and justice, ecosystems restoration, and assessment of progress on the transition pathways towards a circular economy. The book equips readers with language and visual concepts needed to engage with and communicate this topic confidently. I highly recommend it as both an introduction and a refresher on the topic of circular regions and cities.
Adrian Vickery Hill, Strategist and designer - director, Osmos Network
This book outlines a path to trigger circular economy processes that can transform cities and regions, guiding them towards a more resilient and sustainable future, while producing context-appropriate solutions. Circular economy is a context-specific, place-based process that requires a holistic and systemic perspective, in which space plays a crucial role. In six thematic chapters, the book proposes a pathway analysing several key issues: the spatial dimension of circular economy; the opportunities for more ecologically healthy, resource-sufficient metropolitan regions; the integration of social justice and the concept of "care-full" circular economy; the ecological implications of the transition in line with the urban circular bioeconomy; the multidimensional assessment of the transition progress and cross-level interdependencies; as well as policy recommendations for multi-level governance at various scales. This book provides an inspiring perspective on circular economy, not only as a technical and economic challenge, but also as a social and political opportunity. It is highly recommended for anyone interested in fostering a more sustainable and circular future for our cities.
Prof. Maria Cerreta, University of Naples "Federico II"

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
