Abstract
This study examines how cities may develop sustainable and inclusive
transportation networks in response to rising urbanization, climate change, and
digital disruption. Grounded in the Smart City Framework and Resource-Based
View (RBV) philosophy, a PRISMA-guided review of 71 peer-reviewed works
(2018–2025) investigates the incorporation of AI, IoT, and platform-based
mobility within urban transportation. The research evaluates governance
frameworks, emphasizing the 15-minute city and spatial equality, and indicates
that technical efficacy is contingent upon institutional capacity, coordination,
infrastructure, and inclusive policies. It underscores governance disparities
across cities in the Global North and South, emphasizing the necessity for
specific frameworks that tackle informal transportation and foster community
engagement. A suggested conceptual framework connects governance, digital
competencies, and proximity-oriented planning to facilitate sustainable
mobility. This research theoretically integrates the Resource-Based View and
smart city principles, providing practical recommendations for policymakers
and planners to promote equitable, technology-driven urban mobility systems.
