Mapping Smart and Sustainable Mobility Innovations in Modern Cities

Cities worldwide are pursuing intelligent and sustainable development for better living conditions. Smart and Sustainable Mobility, as a part of the concept of Smart City and the European Green Deal Strategy, aims to address urban mobility and transport challenges. The goal is ambitious: a 90% reduction in transportation emissions by 2050. The European Commission Strategy for Sustainable and Smart Mobility aligns with this, focusing on making European transport green, intelligent, and resilient. Successful practices worldwide include technological, organizational, social and economic measures to achieve sustainable and efficient transport services, and reduce air pollution, congestion, and noise. Various solutions are necessary for a green energy transformation in cities. The article aims to categorize the innovations concerning intelligent and sustainable mobility into four categories: technological, organizational, social and economic. Furthermore, the innovations were also grouped within three dimensions: Electro-mobility, Collective transport 2.0 and Low-mobility societies. The research involved reviewing European Union documents, sustainable transport plans, and scientific publications and mapping innovative solutions.
