Challenges and Suggestions in Smart Mobility in Sustainable Cities Collaborating to Address Air Quality and Traffic Congestion: Encouraging Innovation, Facilitating a Collaborative Ecosystem, and Meeting Sustainability Goals

Abstract

The paper provides a perspective on urban mobility challenges and examples of innovative urban mobility as possible solutions. Urban mobility is described as the lifeblood of modern cities, a critical economic factor, and a facilitator of intelligent, sustainable development. The methodology approach is to systematically review the literature to explore the strategies to meet city mobility challenges involve. The results demonstrate that smart mobility challenges are part of the rapidly changing landscape of urban mobility, as seen through the lens of an intelligent city planner. For instance, crafting policies and strategies to promote adherence to air quality standards and other quality-of-life measures; designing effective, equitable, safe, and secure public transport systems integrated and other platforms; and adapting to vehicle innovation as autonomous, connected, electric, and shared, dockless, etc. build sustainable infrastructure to support innovative mobility solutions from public and private sectors. The outcomes and findings point to equitable urban mobility solutions as one of the cities’ most pressing problems worldwide.
