| Abstract | Although concepts of circular economy are growing, circular economy design processes in the construction sector are as of yet neither advanced nor well-articulated, despite the fact that circular economy models could be applied very well in cultural heritage assets and in the construction sector in regions and cities. Policy and decision makers lack sufficient knowledge on the benefits of cultural heritage assets adaptive reuse, as well as tools for both implementing these actions and articulating them accordingly in policy instruments, such as smart specialisation and others. A recently developed study at Uppsala University, on mapping European regions (NUTS entities) which recognise cultural heritage and culture as an integral part in their development strategies, offers a comparison of approaches according to economic and scientific domains as well as policy objectives, and shows that only a small percentage of regions consider cultural heritage as an asset for their growth. The purpose of this paper is to lay a basis for a new, stronger complementarity between cultural heritage adaptive reuse practices and circular economy concepts through smart specialisation strategies and, in particular, specific economic domains, reviewing also approaches of different European regions towards these links within their strategic documents. Preliminary results show that cultural heritage is not adequately recognised as a potential for economic development within the economic domain associated with adaptive reuse and circular economy (mainly construction industry). This research aims to overcome a gap in the qualitative and quantitative data regarding this topic and to clarify how many regions and cities (NUTS entities) are oriented towards including cultural heritage as a part of their circular economy processes.
