Abstract
Urban systems are consuming resources and ecosystems services beyond the global carrying capacity, which results in the liquidation of natural capital, resource shortages (particularly water, food and energy) and the degradation of urban ecosystems. A shift towards a circular bioeconomy in urban systems could help to alleviate some of these problems. In this chapter we investigate this proposition and present European examples. We explore the potential levers for transformation and role of spatial planning in this process. Finally, we assess the challenges to implementation at a city-regional scale.
