Sustainable Urban Future

The central theme of the book is the exploration and implementation of circular economy principles to transform urban waste management practices. The book focuses on how cities can move from a linear waste management model to a circular system that emphasises resource efficiency, waste reduction and sustainability. Covering innovative strategies, technologies and policies that support the integration of circular economy concepts into urban environments, the book aims to provide practical solutions and forward-looking approaches to creating a more resilient and environmentally sustainable urban future.
