Abstract: The paper makes six recommendations to address pressing urban challenges that arise from the turn towards circularity. It proposes an approach to bring derelict, vacant and underused land into reuse to drive a sustainable urban transition. It is a call for taking systemic action towards an inclusive and sustainable city. Proposals for identifying wastescapes in different urban and territorial critical contexts are highlighted. Wastescapes are discarded territories perceived as innovative resources for new public spaces and spatial justice. The paper is a practice review which provides a characterization of wastescapes in the Campania Region (South of Italy) which is potentially applicable in other contexts worldwide.
