| Publisher Description: This report aims to support the city of Ume in becoming the leader in the circular economy as stated in its strategic plan for 2016-2028. Ume 's population doubled over the last 50 years, making it one of Europe's fastest growing cities in a sparsely populated region (Northern Sweden). By 2050, the city is expected to reach a population of 200 000 inhabitants, with consequences on housing, use of natural resources and waste production. As such, the local government is developing a model integrating environmental, social and economic aspects within a circular economy approach. This is in line with the Swedish Government's objective to strengthen society's transition to a resource-efficient, circular and bio-based economy. |
