N2 - This concluding chapter weaves together the individual contributions in this book to develop a slum-circular economicEconomic model that aligns slum livelihoods, slum spatial appropriations, and slum housing with the core principlesPrinciples of the circular economyCircular economy. The chapter makes the case for a just circular transition. It argues that policies that instill distributive, procedural, and recognitional justice in the slum-circular economyCircular economy nexus are essential to reduce the harms and maximise the benefits of slum dwellers’ everyday interactions with waste and other related materials. It teases out strategies such as social protections, participatory decision-making through coproduction, occupational health, skills training, and innovation in the policy and development planning for circular and sustainable citiesCities. It concludes with three theoretical propositions and future research directions.
