Abstract
This work examines the role of urban symbiosis for ensuring essential factors for the resilient and green transition. Urban symbiosis emphasises the value adding collaborative models, and resource dependencies between businesses, research, city organisation(s) and citizens.
Critical metals play key roles in technologies elementary for a green transition of societies, e.g. electric vehicles, photovoltaics, etc. Today, many of these critical raw material are recycled because of their low content in end-use, which brings techno-economic challenges for their recovery. In this context, cities as concentrations of reusable products and secondary materials can play a significant role in recirculating critical resources, thereby supporting the resilience of societies and diminishing the extraction of virgin sources. While cities can set standards, provide incentives, and enforce regulations that encourage urban symbiosis, companies are instrumental in driving the innovation and business models necessary for a circular economy.
The work illustrates alternative transition pathways in an exemplary case relating to e-bike batteries.
