India is poised to be the world’s sixth largest apparel market by 2022 (pre-COVID 19 estimate). The textile and apparel sector requires large amounts of non-renewable resource inputs causing social and environmental pressures. Key Findings Our survey suggests that buyers of secondhand clothing are more likely to be young (under 35) and female. Hygiene and the condition of clothes were reported as the top two barriers for respondents to purchase secondhand clothes. Respondents wanted to be assured of hygiene and the condition of secondhand clothes before they purchased them. Respondents are motivated by low price and the reduced environmental impact to purchase secondhand clothes. Our survey suggests that environmentally conscious respondents ensured that their overall purchases did not increase when they purchased secondhand. The formal secondhand clothing market in India is still in its early stages of consumer adoption, and there are opportunities to boost new circular business models such as resale. Our survey suggests that reuse business models can offer an opportunity for stakeholders to be both a buyer as well as a seller of secondhand clothing.","PeriodicalId":102640,"journal":{"name":"WRI Publications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129865178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enabling conditions for TOD may include changes in land-use regulation and other statutory provisions to create an integrated regulatory framework. TOD requires robust stakeholder engagement and institutional coordination during planning and implementation. Financing mechanisms cities have used to fund TOD include Land Value Capture, a strategy based on expected increases in land values due to infrastructure investments. These mechanisms have been used to generate revenues such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and a wide range of taxes and fees. Cities should be aware of the potential negative impacts of TOD, such as displacement and gentrification. Effective and inclusive TOD strategies should be accompanied by land management strategies that mitigate these impacts, including having policies in place to ensure the preservation and expansion of affordable housing. There is typically a lag of at least 5 to 10 years before the economic and financial impacts of TOD investments are fully realized, thus requiring the need for patient capital, well-structured deals and financial instruments, and proper governance.","PeriodicalId":102640,"journal":{"name":"WRI Publications","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125705621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
