Abstract
Population shift from rural to urban areas driven by social and economic needs led to massive mobility challenges and several negative impacts in contemporary cities related to road safety, congestion, and emissions. Smart cities consider people and the environment as the central focus for a better quality of life, reasonable consumption of natural resources, and sustainable development and prosperity. In this chapter, implications of conventional car-centric cities and the need for people-centric smart cities are highlighted. Smart mobility is presented in this chapter as one of the main pillars of smart cities of the future.
