Circularity on what grounds? Advancing learning for circular area development at the interface of proximity and precarity

Abstract

This paper contributes empirically and conceptually to ongoing debates on the social and spatial implications of the circular economy in cities. Through a practice-based approach, we critically interrogate the ongoing transformation of the Binckhorst area in the Hague, to show how an otherwise self-supportive neighbourhood that developed over decades is currently taken apart in view of a rather sanitised vision on circular area development with high building densities. By dwelling on how learning at the interface of proximity and precarity is reformatting current conditions toward a circular and just Binckhorst, we attempt to broaden the horizon of potentiality for local circular economies.
