Abstract
This paper explores how assessing and implementing the circular economy at the municipal level
can serve as a catalyst for regenerative practices rooted in collective action and the responsible use
of information technologies. Using the case study of Sintra, Portugal, it examines the potential of
local data and digital tools to promote community engagement, resource mapping, and
accountability among both public and private actors. The discussion highlights both opportunities
and risks at the intersection of ecological transition, territorial equity, and participatory
technologies. The circular economy is regarded not only as a strategy for resource efficiency but
also as a pathway to local resilience and the sustainability of shared resources and goods.
