***General Introduction***


This dataset contains a set of 120 instruments analyzed for the article titled " ".

***Purpose of Analysis***

- Governance level: local, regional, national
- Status: active/inactive
- Instrument typology (following Hood & Margetts (2007) Tools of Government in the Digital Age)): Authority, Treasure, Nodality, Organization.
- Circular city actions (following Williams (2019) Circular cities): Loop, Ecological Regeneration, Adapt.
- Support actions (following Williams (2019) Circular cities): Substitution, Optimization, Localization, Share.
- R-Ladder: R6 - Recover, R5 - Recycle, R4 - Repair, R3 - Re-use, R2 - Reduce, R1 - Refuse.

***Description of the data in this data set***
The file "2023.05.24 - Instruments analysis.xlsx" includes a total of 120 instruments characterized by the criteria above-mentioned. Each instrument has a link to its source, when available.
