The Circularity in the Built Environment reading guide targets primarily the construction and infrastructure sectors, engaging stakeholders such as architects, building companies, local governments, and material suppliers. The practical value for cities and regions lies in its curated collection of tools, design principles, regulatory insights, and case studies, such as the Ambition Chart and digital tools like material passports, which help municipalities define priorities and take actionable steps in circular construction.

These resources support cities in reducing material consumption, increasing reuse, and minimizing lifecycle environmental impacts; key steps in designing adaptive, resource-efficient buildings. This document’s relevance to Circular Systemic Solutions stems from its comprehensive integration of circular strategies, especially design for disassembly, material reuse, and lifecycle assessment, into urban development, enabling systemic change across policy, practice, and procurement.
