Summary/Abstract: As they are facing multiple economic, environemental and social challenges, European cities tend to embrace the much-debated circular economy model, due to its holistic and systemic approach. Belgium has already integrated circular principles in its governmental plans and continues the transition to a circular economy in its production and consumption chains. This paper analyzes the case of Brussels as a future circular city, with special focus on the programmes already implemented at a municipal level and their evolution in the last years.
