Abstract This chapter proposes a smart, active, sustainable mobility framework model to promote accessibility, connectivity, and social inclusion among people in urban areas. In this context, Active Mobility, encompassing activities such as walking and cycling, could emerge as one of the most significant transport modes, sparking higher levels of well-being, quality of life, and sustainability in urban spaces. Historically, city planning authorities have often overlooked Active Mobility, heavily focusing instead on motorized traffic. This unjustified focus has resulted in severe traffic congestion and unbearable air pollution. In contrast, Active Mobility-friendly accessible, and connected urban spaces offer multiple health, economic, and environmental benefits to cities and their inhabitants. With support from the latest advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Information Communication Technology (ICT), Artificial Intelligence, and Augmented Reality, a viable Smart Active Mobility model may be established, representing a paradigm shift in how urban communities use and access transportation. In this envisioned model, active mobility is central and becomes the dominant transport mode for the development of revitalized sustainable smart cities. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
