This dissertation examines the Kings Cross regeneration scheme from a circular cities perspective, addressing the three circular capacities of looping, adapting and regenerating. It also draws on the research on heritage-led regeneration to study the role of the site's rich heritage that has been preserved development. The research is based on a qualitative content analysis of planning documents and interviews with professionals involved in the project. The analysis concludes that the scheme exhibits looping, adapting and regenerating capacities to some extent and demonstrates the multidimensional benefits that emerge from a circular approach to urban regeneration.

Research to date still lacks a practice-based framework to understand how employee-driven innovation (EDI) can be harnessed to support organisations to adopt more sustainable practices. This dissertation will explore how EDI can be harnessed for organisational sustainability transitions.

Increasing evidence of climate change is leading to legislation and market pressure around the carbon emissions of buildings, particularly in the UK. There have been several studies examining whether environmental certifications such as EPCs and BREEAM result in higher prices being paid for buildings. However, the data used in these studies is now quite old, predating recent developments in the field, including higher numbers of certified buildings and greater attention being paid to ESG issues. This study examines data on 592 investment transactions in the Central London Office market between 2017 and 2021. Using a hedonic regression method, statistically significant price premia of 20.6% were found for BREEAM certification and 3.9% for a single-step increase in EPC rating. However, only BREEAM produced a statistically significant yield premium, of - 0.24 percentage points. The relevance of these results, and the implications for the market, are discussed alongside other recent research in the area.

This dissertation aims to analyze the strategies and practices employed by marketplace and omni-channel startups to implement sustainable business models (SBM) through case studies of several companies. By examining their experiences in-depth, this study will identify the challenges these startups encounter in integrating SBM and assess the impact of entrepreneurial ecologies on this process. The findings will provide practical recommendations to guide other enterprises in developing and integrating sustainable business models.

The ‘last mile’ trip, from transit hub to home, is a growing phenomenon in transport research and investment. Yet it has received minimal attention in the suburbs, where most last mile trips are done by car. This dissertation explores key factors affecting travel behaviour for the last mile — the built environment; trip satisfaction; and attitudes — using UK case studies of the Oxford and Oxford Parkway railway stations. Quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal lessons for policy and governance, adding to a renewed emphasis on active travel during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The aim of this microlevel case study is to explore the grassroots of the intricate relationship between stakeholder preferences and the institutional context within the baking industry, with a focus on transitioning towards corporate sustainability. To achieve this aim, three key objectives have been outlined. Firstly, the research seeks to investigate who are the stakeholders contributing to the delivery of sustainability transition within the bakery sector and how their perceptions can influence the process of transition. Additionally, it analyses the regulatory frameworks and institutional contexts, that shape the available sustainability options for bakery businesses, and suggests future regulatory areas that require progress. Furthermore, the dissertation identifies and examines primary challenges to recommend changes required to achieve the transformation of bakery industries into sustainable entities. Through interviews conducted with internal stakeholders of the case study bakery industry, and conceptualizing discussions with an external expert the study endeavours to provide insights into the complexities of sustainability transitions in the baking industry, ultimately contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable business practices
