The results revealed that proximity-based studies have evolved across three distinct periods, gaining traction as a consequence of COVID-19 pandemic, while new directions have also emerged. Most of the conceptual work is published by researchers from Western Europe, and such research is also more influential, as citation figures show. Besides the large number of publications on the core concepts of proximity-based planning, ‘transport’ and ‘built environment-design’ are the most popular themes, particularly in North America and Western Europe. Interestingly, publications emphasizing ‘spatial equity’ more often centre on Latin America, East Asia, and South Asia as study areas, while those with a ‘people and health’ focus tend to concentrate on Oceania. Despite the diversity in research priorities and the growing number of publications, the FMC label tends to create a common research ground that connects various domains and geographical regions.

The Berlin case exemplifies how participatory planning gains traction when embedded in institutional frameworks and complemented by legal justification strategies under the German Road Traffic Regulations. The findings reveal a hybrid planning logic that combines civic co-production with evidence-based validation to address the structural constraints of German mobility governance. Comparative insights from London and Barcelona further contextualize the Kiezblock experience, highlighting four key dimensions of contestation: procedural legitimacy, social equity, institutional embedding, and symbolic scale. Across all cases, proximity planning emerges not as a technocratic optimization tool, but as a politically contested process shaped by competing imaginaries, administrative limitations, and divergent stakeholder interests. The article concludes that successful proximity planning requires not only spatial and participatory innovation, but also adaptive governance frameworks capable of navigating institutional inertia and managing urban conflict. By triangulating citizen knowledge with observational evidence, the Kiezblock experience highlights transferable governance principles that may inform proximity planning in other contexts facing similar regulatory and institutional constraints.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Mobility","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100183"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145938939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both parametric (linear regression) and non-parametric (XGBoost) models are applied to identify key built-environment determinants. Our results reveal significant disparities: block groups with higher shares of white residents exhibit increased EEI toward whites and lower EDI, whereas Black and Hispanic neighborhoods display more diverse exposure profiles. Transportation cost burden and transit accessibility emerge as strong predictors of both EEI and EDI, indicating that mobility barriers disproportionately affect minority groups’ ability to interact across racial lines. Conversely, areas with dense parks, mixed-use developments, and robust public transit networks facilitate greater inter-group exposure. We find that White residents’ lower non-home EDI stems from better proximity to amenities, reducing the need to travel beyond their neighborhoods. In contrast, Black and Hispanic populations incur higher travel burdens to access diverse opportunities. These findings underscore that disparities in land use and transport infrastructure shape individuals’ activity spaces and social interactions.

Still, minimal acceptance for e-taxis is discernible from the survey study even though TCO results show cost benefits of e-taxis in all scenarios. It is recommended to give taxi drivers preferred or exclusive charging opportunities at train stations, airports, or hospitals.

However, the promising idea is not accompanied by successful implementation.

The combination of public transport and bike-sharing is the most favored option, while e-scooter-sharing becomes favorable when it is combined with bike-sharing and discounts on taxi. Frequent car users prioritize add-ons when making choices, while non-working car users and those without a college education show stronger preference for bike-sharing over other services.
