Abstract
The Circular City Index (CCI) project for Barcelona, conducted in partnership with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, aimed to assess urban circularity across multiple districts. Utilizing the City Circularity Index model as introduced by Muscillo et al. (2021), this research adapted the framework to Barcelona’s unique urban context, focusing on the four main components: Digitalization (D), Energy, Climate and Resources (ECR), Mobility (M), and Waste (W). The project benchmarks city performance against Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to guide strategic planning for a sustainable and resilient urban environment. Each district’s performance was measured through tailored Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) reflecting accessibility, infrastructure, and environmental data. Spatial and statistical analyses were applied to assess parameters such as waste collection accessibility, air quality, and renewable energy coverage. Data was gathered from open-source and municipal datasets, complemented by geographic analysis for a precise district-level understanding...
