6. Add the following to the abstract:

   Urban mobility is a critical component of sustainable city development, influencing economic productivity, social equity, and environmental sustainability. It encompasses the movement of people and goods within urban areas, integrating various modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, public transit, and private vehicles. Effective urban mobility systems aim to ensure accessibility, affordability, and efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts and addressing the diverse needs of urban populations.

   In recent years, the rapid pace of urbanization has introduced complex challenges, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and inequitable access to transport options. These issues disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as low-income residents, the elderly, and adolescents, highlighting the need for inclusive planning. The emergence of innovative technologies, such as shared mobility platforms, autonomous vehicles, and smart city solutions, offers opportunities to reimagine urban transport networks. However, successful implementation requires a balance between technological advancement, community engagement, and policy alignment.

   This paper explores the importance of integrating data-driven approaches, participatory planning, and sustainable policies to enhance urban mobility systems. By prioritizing multimodal transportation, reducing dependency on private vehicles, and fostering equitable access to opportunities, cities can transition toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
