The functioning, equality, and economic viability of a city are fundamentally determined by its transportation system. The physical movement of people and goods is no longer enough to define transportation in the context of advanced cities; instead, the ability of transportation systems to integrate multimodal efficiency, guarantee accessibility for all, and provide resilience in infrastructure and service continuity must be evaluated. A methodical approach based on quality, performance, and strategic foresight is necessary to make the shift from traditional transportation systems to sophisticated infrastructure.
