Wang, B. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Meng, Yanchun (author)With rapid high-speed railway (HSR) developments in China, HSR-based transit-oriented development (TOD) has proliferated across the country. Although local governments claim that HSR station areas are planned according to TOD principles, some scholars argue that these station areas actually contribute to unsustainable development. This study...journal article 2023

Liu, Z. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Rapid global urbanization, urban renewal and changes in people's lifestyles have led to both an increase in waste generation and more complex waste types. In response to these changes, many local governments have invested in municipal solid waste infrastructure (MSWI) to implement circular strategies.

(author), De Jong, Martin (author), Stamhuis, Evert (author)In the quest for Smart City (SC) development, numerous examples of ‘good practices’ have circulated in national and international policy arenas.

(author), Goerner, Sally (author), Webster, Ken (author), Fiscus, Dan (author), Ulanowicz, Robert E. (author)For many islands, the answer to the question “why a locally, self-sustaining, and regenerative economy is needed?” is clear. The struggle often lies in the “how”. Here, we argue that tools from regenerative economics, which follow an island economy-as-an-organism analogy, offer valuable and complementary insights to socio-metabolic research....journal article 2023

Zisopoulos, Filippos K. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author)Considering its relatively low circularity rate (11.8% in 2019), the EU set several waste management targets as part of its roadmap to a circular economy yet the decision about which transition pathway to follow is not trivial. The maximization of circularity in human made systems is intended to function as a catalyst for this transition albeit...review 2022

Although the economic rise has brought considerable welfare, it has...journal article 2019
