“…In the explanation of OVE, in line with [ 31 ], the relevant role played by SIM in the transformation of cities is verified, so that it explains the readiness of the city for implementing mobility innovations. This means that mobility not only impacts the achievement of a sustainable urban environment [ 12 , 15 ], but also maximizes the social benefits that these initiatives can bring about, which is related to the city’s readiness for the implementation of mobility innovations (OVE). Since the definition of SIM reflects the generation of employment opportunities, it is a condition that can help achieve SDG8.…”

“…The growing awareness of cities regarding their resilience to environmental challenges is causing them to embark in activities to identify new forms of urban efficiency [ 21 , 54 ]. In addition, smart cities can increase economic efficiency to a greater extent than those linked to ecological factors [ 15 , 25 ]. Elements that condition the transformation of cities include social impact [ 31 ].…”

“…Mobility, a complex urban system with multiple interactions, is gaining relevance within the urbanization process and plays a critical role in the daily life of cities [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The modernization of urban mobility plays a key role in the healthiness and sustainability of cities [ 11 , 13 , 14 ], prompting cities of all sizes to have sustainable mobility goals on their agenda [ 15 ]. Any reference to sustainability must bear in mind the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), through which the United Nations established 17 global goals designed as a plan to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all [ 16 ].…”

The growing concentration of the population in urban areas presents great challenges for sustainability. Within this process, mobility emerges as one of the main generators of externalities that hinder the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The transition of cities towards innovations in sustainable mobility requires progress in different dimensions, whose interaction requires research. Likewise, it is necessary to establish whether the experiences developed between cities with different contexts can be extrapolated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify how the conditions that determine a city’s readiness to implement urban mobility innovations could be combined. For this, qualitative comparative analysis was applied to a model developed using the multi-level perspective, analyzing 60 cities from different geographical areas and with a different gross domestic product per capita. The R package Set Methods was used. The explanation of the readiness of cities to implement mobility innovations is different to the explanation of the readiness negation. While readiness is explained by two solutions, in which only regime elements appear, the negation of readiness is explained by five possible solutions, showing the interaction between the landscape and regimen elements and enacting the negation of innovations as a necessary condition. The cluster analysis shows us that the results can be extrapolated between cities with different contexts.

“…Accordingly, the National Institute for Economic Strategy (CASS) has published the USC Index since 2012 and further explains the concept of USC: USC reflects a systematic ability to optimize urban development and meet the complex and critical social well-being of urban residents [7]. At present, research on USC mainly focuses on quantitative analysis, which evaluates the development of a country or region's USC by constructing USC evaluation indicators [26,27]. In short, the USC reflects the ability to grow in the long term and sustainably, rather than short-term economic growth, and focuses on the sustainability of growth patterns to achieve the harmonious development of wealth growth, quality of life and social well-being.…”

Urban sustainable competitiveness (USC) is one of the important indexes to measure the high-quality development of cities in China. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment (FDI) plays the prominent role in improving urban sustainable competitiveness. Therefore, this analysis aimed to test the impact of FDI on the USC and its mechanism using the intermediary effect model with a sample of 282 cities in China during the period 2012–2018. The influencing mechanism includes the scale effect, the technological effect, and the structural effects. The results show that: first, FDI is significantly and positively related to the USC of China, and the scale, technological and structure effects all play a mediating role, with the scale effects being the most significant. Moreover, population size shows negative effect on the USC. Second, the impact of FDI on the USC is regionally heterogeneous. FDI can significantly improve the USC in the eastern region, but has no significant effects on the northeastern, central and western regions. Third, FDI in the eastern region affects USC through structural effects, while the scale and technological effects do not play a mediating role but both effects can directly affect USC. FDI in the northeast region still has the structural effect, but this structural effect does not indirectly affect USC, while FDI in the western region has both scale and structural effects. In addition, the technological and structural effects in the central region have a direct impact on USC, while the scale effect in the western region has a direct impact on USC. Therefore, the findings suggest that utilizing FDI should take into account regional characteristics in China.
