Methodological framework demonstrates circular metabolism for periurban waste management, suggesting living labs effectively bridge community planning and ecosystem preservation.
The alarming data on the consumption of resources, waste production and the inability of ecosystems to absorb and metabolize them, necessitate a rethinking of the role of waste in traditional planning instruments. The research work adopts Circular Metabolism as a model, proposes to revert the perspective on waste management, towards Circular Economies to preserve the life of ecosystems, adding value at the local level. In this sense, the Living Labs seem to be an innovative instrument for urban planning, which is capable of merging the skills of researchers and policy makers together with the involvement of local communities.
