Abstract: Abstract Traditional transportation networks are under a great deal of pressure due to rapid urbanization, which has resulted in social injustice, traffic jams, and environmental deterioration in metropolitan areas. Smart transportation techniques have emerged as crucial solutions to solve the issues posed by cities throughout the globe being under growing pressure to develop sustainably. This study examines, from a global viewpoint, how smart transportation systems contribute to sustainable urban growth. It explores cutting-edge technologies including Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Mobility as a Service (MaaS), electric and driverless cars, and infrastructure for active mobility. The paper illustrates workable methods for incorporating these tactics into urban design by examining successful case studies from cities in Europe, Asia, North America, and developing economies. The results show that intelligent transportation improves social fairness, stimulates economic development, and lessens its negative effects on the environment. The paper result does, however, also list some of the main obstacles to adoption, such as lack of funding, opposition to change, and worries about data security. There is discussion of suggestions for boosting research and development spending, encouraging community involvement, and cultivating public-private partnerships. The revolutionary potential of smart transportation systems in establishing inclusive, sustainable, and effective urban settings around the globe is highlighted by this study.
