Abstract
As sustainability gains global attention, the circular economy (CE) emerges as a key strategy for cities facing resource shortages, waste, and environmental issues. In the urban context, city governments play a pivotal role in the transition to a circular economy by shaping policies that influence resource use, waste disposal, and material recovery. This perspective article explores the role of urban policy and governance in promoting or hindering the shift towards a circular economy. Furthermore, it analyzes the opportunities presented by forward-thinking governance structures and policies that support circularity, as well as the challenges that arise from political, economic, and social factors. Case studies from Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and London showcase different policy approaches, highlighting successes and the complexities of implementing circular practices across various governance levels.
