The role of place in the development of a circular economy: a critical analysis of potential for social redistribution in Hull, UK
以英国工业城市赫尔为案例,批判分析公共、私营和第三部门发展循环经济时,社会经济利益的地理分布不均,发现政策目标未能实现包容性转型,但地方依恋为跨部门合作和更公平的分配提供了可能。
Abstract This paper examines the role of place in the local development of a circular economy and the potential for consequent social redistribution. Based on a case study of public, private and third-sector approaches to a circular economy in Hull, an industrial city in the northeast of England, it offers a critical analysis of the geographic distribution of socio-economic benefits from local circular economy developments. Policy goals of inclusivity (or a ‘just transition’) are not accomplished. However, attachment to place provides opportunities to bridge sectoral and jurisdictional boundaries and potentially generate more socially inclusive territorial-distributional outcomes.
