Flows of construction minerals in the Oslo region are studied in a multi-scalar perspective. Urban densification and construction of infrastructure result in large volumes of gravel and stone which according to law is waste. Waste is landfilled in the hinterland putting pressure on socio-ecological qualities. Lack of regional planning promoting circularity implies municipalities in the hinterland have to regulate land for landfills. Norway has a competitive advantage in construction minerals and prices on virgin, compared to recycled construction minerals are relatively low. Combined with a planning regime supporting linear resource governance, the consumption of virgin construction minerals and farmland in the hinterland is de facto stimulated. Differences are identified between the Oslo region and some city regions in the core of Europe concerning the level of progress towards a circular economy. A distinction between resource-rich and resource-strapped regions is proposed as part of an explanation of such differences.

建筑矿物作为城市循环经济的一部分？奥斯陆市及其腹地的多尺度研究


从多标量角度研究奥斯陆地区建筑矿物的流动。城市致密化和基础设施建设会产生大量砾石和石头，根据法律，这些砾石和石头属于废物。废物被填埋在腹地，给社会生态质量带来压力。缺乏促进循环的区域规划意味着内陆城市必须对垃圾填埋场土地进行监管。挪威在建筑矿物方面具有竞争优势，与再生建筑矿物相比，原始价格相对较低。结合支持线性资源治理的规划制度，实际上刺激了腹地原始建筑矿产和农田的消耗。奥斯陆地区与欧洲核心地区的一些城市地区在循环经济的进展水平方面存在差异。作为对这种差异的解释的一部分，提出了资源丰富地区和资源匮乏地区之间的区别。
