  9. Experiences so far The multi-level collaboration is working well, the partners are engaged and dedicated to implementing the ambitions put down in the Action Plan The Partnerships structure enables learning on several levels. Empowers the cities to look for solutions and influence decisions-making in new ways. Still knowledge actions are easier to address than legislation and funding, from a city perspective. The topic of Circular Economy is trans-sectorial, requires a lot of focus on governance. This is still challenging for cities A new Partnership on Circular Economy will come up with completely different barriers and new solutions. This is not the ultimate plan for circular cities in Europe

Concrete outputs so far URBACT Action Planning Network established to engage even more cities on how to effectively work with waste prevention, re-use and recycling at local level ESPON Targeted Analysis provides a knowledge pack for city administrations on how to promote collaborative economy intiatives that stimulate the circular economy Two position papers have been developed to feed into on-going processes in the European Parliament and EU Commission.
