  • The new urban economy of materials, made possible through practices and networks of recycling, upcycling, repairing and sharing, represents a structural adaptation to capitalism in crisis, sometimes called Capitalism 2.0.

    “Rather than setting the stage for radical change, however, this new urban economy of materials, made possible through complex practices and networks of recycling, upcycling, but also repairing and sharing, represents a structural adaptation to capitalism in crisis – what some now simply call Capitalism 2.0 (Godelnik, 2021; Hobson and Lynch, 2016).”

    From Unbuilding the city: Deconstruction and the circular economy in Vancouver (2022) · cites this paper as Hobson and Lynch, 2016

    Section 2 describes a circular economy built around recycling, repair and reuse, identifies sharing as part of it, and says its prevailing framing is ‘reboot capitalism or Capitalism 2.0’ rather than radical transformation. Section 3 also discusses restructuring after the financial crisis. The paper does not establish the more specific claim that a unified *urban economy of materials*, including upcycling networks, constitutes that adaptation. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
