Planning for port development presents a complex challenge. Along with fostering cooperation and economic synergies, port development also necessitates careful balancing with existing city functions. Previous research on port–city relationships (PCRs) has yielded valuable insights, but a comprehensive systematic and bibliometric review to identify future research directions is lacking. Moreover, existing research in this field has not addressed the need for a comprehensive classification of content, methods, and driving forces. This study addresses these gaps by analyzing 113 academic articles published on PCRs between 2000 and 2023. Using a bibliometric approach, this study leverages the JavaScript programming language, VOSviewer 1.6.20 software, and the Scopus database. This paper aims to identify key research areas and influential studies within the field of PCRs. This analysis reveals emerging research topics and themes within PCRs. Additionally, it depicts which research countries, journals, and keywords are the most prominent with regard to this field, outlining the relationships between them. This study’s findings provide valuable insights into the current state of PCR research, including geographical distribution, publication trends, methodological approaches, and key research variables.

“…Other work has sought to understand how the built environment influences ride-hailing use (Malik et al, 2021;Sabouri et al, 2020) or how ride-hailing could increase or decrease total vehicle miles travelled VMT (Tirachini, 2020;Tirachini and Gomez-Lobo, 2019) in highly congested urban areas. A recent review highlights that even though ride-hailing is associated with people avoiding car ownership, there is an overall increase in emissions and VMT in cities with high levels of ride-hailing usage (McKane and Hess, 2023).…”

“…However, another study also in the United States found that Uber may be reducing public transport ridership in small cities but increasing it in large cities, as people may be using it as a feeder to bus and metro systems (Hall et al, 2018). Other variables that literature has found relevant in the competition-complementarity dilemma are the built environment, type of public transit, weather, and service delays (McKane and Hess, 2023).…”

The Potential for Ride-hailing Integration with Mass Transit Systems: A choice Experiment in Latin America

As transportation alternatives facilitated by TNCs (Transportation Network Companies) have gained popularity around the world, research has increasingly focused on understanding their impacts on urban mobility, with several studies examining whether they are competing with public transit trips, increasing vehicle kilometers, or contributing to congestion. Recent policy discussions have turned to whether these services could also have positive benefits, such as complementing mass transit services as a first- and last-mile solution. Most research to date has focused on industrialized countries, with little work focusing on Global South cities. Seeking to fill significant evidence gaps on the impacts of ride-hailing on travel behavior, this paper builds on a stated preference survey in three large metropolitan areas in Latin America (Bogota, Medellin, and Mexico City) to evaluate the potential of introducing an integrated scheme of ride-hailing and mass transit. The scenario of the integrated scheme places ride-hailing as a filler of the first- and last-mile gap left by mass transit. We use discrete choice models and simulations to assess the potential for modal shifts under different pricing scenarios. Results suggest limited feasibility (or modal shifts) of an integrated system of ride-hailing with mass transit under the scenarios considered. Even with significant discounts on the integrated fare, for two of the three cases, the additional ridership would remain comparatively low. Nevertheless, this opens the door for considering other app-based mobility options operating under a sharing perspective and that can reduce operative costs in an integrated scheme.

“…While several reviews examine the sharing economy, most touch on the subject of sustainability very briefly if at all and a few reviews specifically mention the evaluation of environmental impact as a gap (Laurenti et al 2019, Mukendi et al 2020, Sun and Ertz 2021b. Domain specific reviews in fashion (Mukendi et al 2020, Henninger et al 2021, micro-mobility (Zheng and Li 2020, Orozco-Fontalvo et al 2023), and ride-hailing (Tirachini 2020, McKane andHess 2023) are important sources of knowledge, but they do not break the domain silo, nor do they address the mechanisms that drive and affect environmental outcome of sharing.…”

The digital sharing economy is commonly seen as a promising circular consumption model that could potentially deliver environmental benefits through more efficient use of existing product stocks. Yet whether sharing is indeed more environmentally benign than prevalent consumption models and what features shape platforms’ sustainability remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we conduct a systematic literature review of empirical peer reviewed and conference proceeding publications. We screen over 2200 papers and compile a dataset of 155 empirical papers, and consolidate reported results on the environmental impacts of the sharing economy. We find that sharing is not inherently better from an environmental perspective. The type of resource shared, logistic operations, and the ways in which sharing influences users’ consumption more broadly affect environmental outcomes. Sharing goods is generally associated with better environmental outcomes compared to shared accommodations or mobility. Within mobility, shared scooters and ride-hailing emerge as particularly prone to negative environmental outcomes. Contrary to previous suggestions, peer-to-peer sharing (vs. centralized ownership) does not seem to be a good proxy for environmental performance. As sharing becomes intertwined with urbanization, efforts to steer digital sharing towards environmental sustainability should consider system levels effects and take into account platform operations as well as potential changes in consumer behavior.
