Setting the scene

Collaborative Governance for Circular City transition

In this introductory section, you will discover:

• How Collaborative Governance is understood in the context of this Toolkit

• Why new tools and guidelines for collaborative governance are supporting the transition to circular cities

• Examples of existing Toolkits that can inspire collaborative governance arrangements

Before we get into the presentation of the REFLOW Collaborative Governance Toolkit, we first attempt to briefly set the record straight on a few core terms used in this document. Our aim is not conceptual clarity or alignment with certain theoretical viewpoints, but rather to explain our position and approach towards the topic at hand.
