| Abstract: | This research had the objective of providing empirical insights on the implementation of circular building in the Netherlands by assessing the current policies and practices. The Governance Assessment Tool (GAT) was used to assess whether the governance context is supportive or restrictive towards the implementation of policies and projects, based on the criteria of extent, coherence, flexibility and intensity. The GAT showed that most of the criteria were assessed as being moderately supportive for the implementation of new policies and projects regarding circular building. The ‘actors and networks’ dimension emerged as the most supportive dimension since most actors are involved in the policy processes. It is also easy for actors to join networks and coalitions on circular building whereby they work in institutionalised and stable structures. The ‘strategies and instruments’ dimension is the most restrictive, since the strategies and instruments of the building sector collide with those in other sectors, such as the energy transition and the building decree. The assessment results indicate that the goal of a circular building economy in 2050 can be achieved. However, actions should be taken to accelerate the implementation of circular building in the Netherlands. |
