Since the 1972 Stockholm Conference, environmental concerns have gained prominence in the international agenda, leading to the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme and strengthening global sustainability efforts (UNEP, 2022). Within this context, the circular economy (CE), conceptualized by Pearce and Turner (1989) based on Boulding’s earlier work, has emerged as a leading framework for aligning environmental and economic systems (Ghisellini et al., 2016). Recently, CE principles have expanded into urban mobility and transport systems (Pamucar et al., 2023), reinforcing the need to understand how circularity and sustainability are integrated in mobility research. SDG 11 – Goal 11.2 reinforces the relevance of mobility in building more resilient and sustainable cities. Therefore, this paper aims to systematically map the literature published in the Web of Science (WoS) database regarding circular mobility in sustainable cities. It also aims to identify the circular economy's strategy that could be adopted to promote a more sustainable transport system. A systematic literature review was conducted in February 2026 using a PICo-structured search strategy and PRISMA (2020) guideline. The strings “(circular econom*) AND (cit*) AND (mobilit*) AND (sustainab*)" were applied in the WoS database without any initial refinement. Only papers published in journals were selected (50). After following PICo and PRISMA guidelines, 27 papers remained for the systematic literature review. The findings indicate that, while sustainability in transport is widely discussed, explicit integration of circular economy principles into urban mobility remains limited and fragmented. Most studies focus on technological optimization and smart mobility systems, having electric vehicles and sharing vehicles as the main “sustainable strategies”. Fewer address systemic circular strategies such as resource loops, lifecycle, and governance integration. The social and governance dimensions are still overlooked. These findings revealed the absence of frameworks to support a more integrated and systemic circular mobility policy in (sustainable) cities.
