This report offers a lens through which to view and act upon this goal for urban China’s future. It offers a framework that harnesses the heritage of innovative and systemic thinking in China, and applies it to a broad conception of a circular economy, one that can redefine economic value generation in China’s cities, and at the same time make them more liveable for their citizens. Marco Polo described the Beijing of the 13th century as “so vast, so rich and so beautiful, that no man on earth could design anything superior to it.” Indeed, China’s cities of the 21st century can now build on their heritage to realise a superior future based on circular principles.
