SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSFORMATION:
Abstract
The integration of electric mobility with Smart Grids represents a transformative strategy for the development of sustainable urban systems, characterized by a reduced carbon footprint and high energy efficiency. This article carries out a systematic review with a bibliometric approach on the intersection between these two concepts, exploring not only the operational and environmental advantages, but also the social and economic implications of this synergy in building smart cities. The results indicate that the combination of electric mobility and Smart Grids is a rapidly growing area of study, with a significant increase in publications in high-impact scientific journals. Authors from globally renowned institutions have contributed to the consolidation of this field of research, reinforcing its relevance in the context of sustainable urban policies. Furthermore, an analysis of the literature reveals that Smart Grids, by incorporating new communication and information technologies, not only enable the large-scale adoption of electric mobility, but also promote the integrated and efficient management of urban infrastructure. This interconnectivity between systems allows for better optimization of the use of resources, as well as supporting the transition to more sustainable and resilient urban mobility.
