Assessing the Sustainability Alignment of Smart Mobility Projects

EasyChair Preprint 14547

Abstract

This study examines the sustainability alignment of smart mobility projects with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and targets. A total of 32 smart mobility projects from Finland were analyzed. The results highlight commendable efforts in sustainable urbanization and infrastructure development but significant gaps in environmental sustainability and responsible consumption in urban areas. Projects in rural areas focus on innovation and resilient infrastructure, while urban projects aim to enhance inclusive, sustainable cities and ensure safe, affordable, and accessible transport systems. The UN’s specific SDG targets, especially those related to the responsible use of renewable energy, require constant attention in both rural and urban contexts. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive, integrated approach to address the identified gaps.
