Building circular futures: How Yokohama supports local business ecosystems

This Good Practice explores how Yokohama, Japan, advances the circular economy through Circular Yokohama, a citywide platform connecting municipal policy with pilot projects, SME support, district-level experimentation, and international knowledge exchange. The approach helps reduce risks for businesses, strengthen local value chains, and embed circularity across urban development.
The publication is part of the Good Practice Series from the Kaohsiung–ICLEI Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Community of Practice, sharing practical experiences and lessons from member cities to inform action worldwide.
