20.500.12556/DKUM-87804 The complexity and interconnectedness of circular cities and the circular economy for sustainability In our study, we are evaluating the dynamic interplay between circular cities and the circular economy, revealing connections shaped by new research insights, using Web of Science database. We have in depth analysed 671 publications from 1990 to mid- 2023, employing Leximancer and VOSviewer tools. Our analysis uncovered key themes, including buildings, waste management, value chains, and sustainable development, linking the circular cities concept and circular economy framework. Emerging research trends, such as urban metabolism, urban mining, governance models, the built environment, sustainability benchmarks, and value chain management, signify deliberate shifts towards higher circular development and implementation. These trajectories harmonise with overarching sustainable development goals. Contemporary research emphasises urban mining, circular indicators, adaptive resource reuse, and urban structure regeneration. This focus facilitates transitioning from linear models to heightened circularity within urban contexts. Research inclination is shifting from traditional economic and environmental concerns towards holistic urban configurations that prioritise social integration, communal well-being, and the dynamics of the social economy. Through this analytical expedition, we offer novel insights that enhance our understanding of the intricate symbiosis between circular cities and the circular economy. Our findings provide a scientific foundation for formulating targeted strategies by decision-makers and guiding urban landscapes towards transformative trajectories aligned with sustainable development objectives and sustainable cities. bibliometric analysis circular city circular economy content analysis Leximancer sustainability sustainable development goals bibliometrična analiza krožno mesto krožno gospodarstvo analiza vsebine trajnostni razvoj cilji trajnostnega razvoja true true true MCB University Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-03-29 08:29:00 2024-03-29 08:53:23 2025-08-29 08:47:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-17 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-06-02 2023-09-10 2023-09-20 502.131.1 165374211 10.1002/sd.2766 0968-0802 RAZ_Brglez_Kristijan_2023.pdf RAZ_Brglez_Kristijan_2023.pdf 1 ABE50506A2105B67E922ACD5CD842B1E 179c12520b9c6495e1b6731bb3b84bf103a4a33f98ff48440010e2af733d4afd 3a55605f-eda1-11ee-9759-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177581 https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.2766 0 4e24e75c-eda1-11ee-9759-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177583 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko Fakulteta za logistiko 0 0 0
