REPAiR is organizing a session “Waste management and circular economy in regional development and planning” at the 8th Nordic Geographers Meeting in Trondheim in June 2019 (more on the conference: https://www.ntnu.edu/geography/ngm-2019).

This session aims to bring together papers on the different aspects of implementing the waste management and circular economy on an urban scale, focusing on improving wastescapes and managing resource flows in relation with spatial development challenges. These aspects concern mapping wastescapes to show evidence of the negative consequences of the linear economy, developing decision support models for implementation of circular design solutions, policy and governance challenges, research methodology and knowledge transfer and education issues.
