This systematic review examines urban regeneration's effects on sustainable transport using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses methodology (PRISMA). The study analyzed 108 peer‐reviewed articles (2000–2024) across different continents, evaluating four variable clusters: traffic dynamics (congestion, modal shift, emissions), governance and policy integration mechanisms, community equity and gentrification impacts, and design strategies. Findings reveal regeneration projects cause short‐term construction disruptions but yield long‐term sustainability gains when land‐use‐transport planning, participatory governance, and anti‐displacement measures are integrated. Unlike previous descriptive case studies, this review contributes a novel multi‐stakeholder collaboration framework connecting policymakers, planners, communities, and developers through structured interaction pathways. The study identifies critical research gaps including longitudinal impact assessment, emerging technology integration, equity preservation, climate resilience planning, and governance coordination, thereby advancing the field from isolated case reporting to theory‐building and actionable guidance for inclusive urban mobility transformation
