“…First, access to basic essential services, including living, working, commerce, healthcare, education, and entertainment facilities within a 15-minute walking or cycling ( Moreno et al, 2021 ). The concept of “15-Minute City”, which has been discussed frequently in the literature, emphasizes planning based on proximity to such services in a neighborhood ( Pozoukidou and Chatziyiannaki, 2021 ; Balletto et al, 2021 ; Guzman, 2021 ; Allam et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Moreover, in regard to engineering, research interest is diverse, but such research tends to converge on how engineers could improve machines (including automobiles) to reduce their carbon footprint, particularly machines that are not reliant on non-renewable fuels as electric vehicles are [22]. Similarly, in regard to smart urban mobility, research works on areas such as alternative means of transport, cycling, alternative urban planning models such as the '15-min city concept' [23][24][25], the reduction of private cars in favor of public transport and other areas which would play a significant role in shaping the debate on overall emissions reduction in the transport sector.…”

“…However, there are possibilities that the attention will extend to bicycles, as these provide people with the ability to abide by health protocols, pursue sustainable pathways, as well as avoid the use of private cars. This will further be influenced by the rethinking of urban planning models such as the aforementioned 15-min city concept [23,25,72].…”

Mobility is a subject of increasing importance in a time when cities have gained prominence, as they are home to over 56% of the world’s population and generate over 80% of global GDP. Urban planning principles have traditionally been developed to promote urban efficiency and enhance productivity. The emergence of ‘Smart Mobility’ has provided researchers and policy practitioners new ways to understand and plan cities. With rapid urbanization growth and the sustained mobility challenges faced in most global cities, this paper sets forth to understand and map the evolution of the concept of ‘Smart Urban Mobility’ through a bibliometric analysis and science mapping techniques using VOSviewer. In total, 6079 articles were retrieved from the Web of Science database over 5 decades, from 1968 to 2021, and divided into four sub-periods, namely 1968 to 2010, 2011 to 2015, 2016 to 2019, and 2020 to 2021. The paper provides a better understanding of the thematic focus and associated trends of smart mobility beyond technical issues related to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), where due to diverse dynamics, such as unprecedented growth and advancement in technologies, attention has extended to incorporating the impacts of the application of different technologies in urban mobility as well as associated fields. This paper further identifies major sources, authors, publications, and countries that have made more contributions to the development of this field. The findings of this study can help researchers better understand the evolution of the subject, and help policymakers make better-informed decisions on investable infrastructures for better mobility outcomes in urban regeneration pursuits and future cities.

“…With respect to access to the metro station, about half the city reported low accessibility to the metro station and about quarter of the city reported high to medium accessibility with under 15 minutes of travel time to the metro. The recent discussion on the 15-minute city proposes such interconnected transportation and land uses, as it can enhance the liveability of cities by reducing emission and health impacts on its residents [22]. In all, this city reports decent to good accessibility, especially if the poor accessibility cells at the edge of the city with no planned development are eliminated from the overall analysis.…”

An epitome of a sustainable city, Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, boasts of its integrated land use and multi-modal transportation network. When developed as planned, it could be an example for designing future cities. However, little is known of how accessible it could be in spite of its unique design. Conversely, accessibility, as a conceptual and operational definition, has gone through several iterations. However, it still remains an often misunderstood and poorly defined and measured construct. Masdar City, as planned, consists of several types of sustainable transportation options including walking, biking, personal rapid transit (PRT), group rapid transit (GRT), bus/light rapid transit, and metro. The hierarchical additive approach (considering both spatial analysis and the time-based analysis), reports that majority of Masdar City has low accessibility to the regional metro station. Also, the result indicates that more than half of the city will need between 13.1 to 25 minutes, with an average of 15 minutes, to reach the metro station. In all, the city has medium accessibility to the metro station with opportunities to enhance the overall accessibility. Elimination of transit stops that are redundant can reduce the headway and stalling time and hence the total travel time. Also, by locating new transit stops (bus, PRT or LRT) in grids where access to closest public transit is more than 400 m by walking can help balance the capital cost of infrastructure (public transit) while improving the accessibility to the regional metro for its residents. The follow-up analysis reported that the medium accessibility increased from 20% to 24%. Evaluation of accessibility in planned areas (city or neighbourhood) can provide insights on efficiency of a sustainable city such as Masdar City.
