O livro analisa os processos de adaptação que as cidades do Porto, em Portugal, e de São Paulo, no Brasil, adotaram como estratégias assumidas por políticas públicas para responder às proposições da agenda da economia verde no quesito específico dos resíduos sólidos, e da economia circular. O aparente paradoxo, traduzido no imperativo da redução de resíduos em um modelo de sociedade consumista, é abordado a partir de uma problematização que convoca questões relativas ao neoliberalismo, à sociedade de consumo e à sociedade do risco, questionando os modos como as cidades se tornam reflexivas e regeneradoras perante as dinâmicas econômicas e sociais do atual contexto. Discute a relação entre os procedimentos decisórios e a capacidade de concretizar a mudança, identificando boas práticas e obstáculos que emergem no processo. Através de consulta e de análise documental; de visitas de estudo; de acompanhamento de projetos emblemáticos em cada uma das duas cidades; e da escuta de testemunhas privilegiadas, procuramos retratar formas de operacionalização da economia verde e da economia circular no campo da gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos.
