urban air mobility, urban development, urban infrastructure, urban planning, urban sustainabilityAbstract
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is an emerging mode of urban transportation based on new aeronautical, electrical, and communications technologies. However, this will present a significant challenge for urban planners, as the planning and implementation of UAM must include and consider the development of new dedicated infrastructure, the socio-urban context, local needs, and an assessment of the impact it will have on cities and their development. Therefore, the objective of this review article, which uses a quantitative systematic review methodology, is to analyze the anticipated or potential impacts that this emerging mode of transport will have on urban development. As a result, this study presents an assessment of the impacts of UAM on urban infrastructure development, the existing urban transport system, the local economy, the urban environment and ultimately, society.
