Abstract: The rapid urbanization of the 21st century has created unprecedented challenges for waste management systems, necessitating innovative approaches that integrate resilience and sustainability. This article examines the design and implementation of resilient waste management systems through a circular economy lens, addressing the critical need for sustainable urban development. By analyzing contemporary research and best practices, this study explores how cities can transform linear waste management models into circular systems that promote resource recovery, environmental protection, and economic viability. The article synthesizes evidence from global case studies and technological innovations to provide a comprehensive framework for designing resilient waste management systems that can withstand environmental, economic, and social pressures while contributing to urban sustainability goals
