The role of micro-mobility in shaping sustainable cities: A systematic literature review

Rusul L. Abduljabbar et al.

Summary: Micro-mobility is gaining recognition as a promising mode of urban transport, but existing research is fragmented. This paper consolidates knowledge on the topic through a systematic literature review of 328 journal publications, identifying four main research themes and future research directions. The analysis of citations and co-citations reveals the changing landscape of micro-mobility research and highlights its importance as a low-carbon mode of urban transport.

Environmental performance of shared micromobility and personal alternatives using integrated modal LCA

Anne de Bortoli

Summary: A comprehensive study in Paris compared the environmental performance of shared micromobility services to private alternatives through an integrated modal Life Cycle Assessment, revealing that electric micromobility falls between active modes and personal ICE modes with impacts primarily driven by vehicle manufacturing. Vehicle lifetime mileage has a significant effect on environmental performance, and solely focusing on carbon footprint can lead to biased decisions, highlighting the need for a multi-criteria LCA to protect the planet.
