“…As an example, developing models that are spatially explicit as well as locationspecific would allow the analysis of equity and equality to be refined (e.g., in relation to access to transport services or exposure to pollution). This would allow the analysis to be expanded to active mobility [82] and micro-mobility [83], as well as to sector-specific strategies (e.g., short sea shipping [84]), considerably expanding the potential applications of the methods and tools proposed. Further, merging models of different transport modes into a single assessment would allow the impacts of different urban planning strategies on local development to be analyzed.…”

Transportation is one of the main enablers of development. It connects communities, allows the trade of goods among territories, and provides equitable access to public services. However, it is also one of the main causes of climate change, impacting directly and indirectly on human health. This raises the need for transportation infrastructure to be more sustainable so that it can enable more sustainable development. This paper investigates how sustainability in the transport sector can be conceptualized, assessed, and implemented. Definitions are proposed, indicators identified, existing methods reviewed, and three case studies presented. The Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) method and resulting integrated simulation models are used to assess the multidimensional outcomes of conventional and sustainable transport investments. The cases of roads, public bicycle-sharing and bus rapid transport systems are discussed. These investments are assessed using an integrated cost–benefit analysis that goes beyond traditional assessments, considering the benefits and avoided costs of the externalities of a project in the social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The use of the method led to the conclusion that including externalities in a cost–benefit analysis is meaningful and can be relevant for assessing the economic viability of transport infrastructure projects.

“…Traffic accidents due to improper path segregation and air pollution from motorized vehicles can be harmful to cyclists and pedestrians. To avoid this backfired strategy, the planning of active mobility in urban areas should involve multi-level planning and design strategies: policies and regulation; city and region; and at neighborhood-level [44]. The government plays an important role in constructing various strategies and implementing them in the built environment of a smaller scale, the neighborhood.…”

The 15-Minute city concept emerged as a response to the hyper-motorized city. First popularized by the Mayor of Paris in 2020, 15-Minute City is an evolving concept that derived from its predecessors such as neighborhood-unit planning and walkable city. This paper explores the implementation of the 15-Minute City concept in city planning by using Singapore as the case study. In 2018, Singapore released its Land Transport Master Plan 2040 and which includes an ambitious concept of 20-Minute Towns and a 45-Minute City (2MT45MC) and has similar ideas to the 15-Minute City concept. Through various journal articles and media coverage, Singapore's policy and regulation regarding its transport planning were thoroughly reviewed to find Singapore's strategy and challenges in realizing the objective of its 2MT45MC concept. Normalizing active mobility and enhancing connectivity nationwide are the main strategies to overcome the biggest challenges faced: lack of legal backing in personal mobility devices and the country's rigid zoning. Even though it is too early to say whether 2MT45MC is achievable or not, projects such as the North-South Corridor show that for a long-term plan, it seems feasible.

“…En este panorama incierto y en rápida transformación, la movilidad activa, lejos de pasar a un plano secundario, se reivindica de nuevo con fuerza como la gran solución a muchos de los problemas urbanos recientes, presentes y futuros (Koszowski et al, 2019). El contexto actual parece serle favo-rable y desfavorable a la vez.…”
