Abstract

The smart city concept stands for a sign of progress towards improving the quality of urban residents’ lives, improving urban infrastructures and promoting sustainable development. Smart city applications contribute to the deployment of comprehensive management strategy models that prioritize sustainability and agility as well as the use of technology. Smart city projects can facilitate create solutions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Smart mobility applications can be used to achieve SDG11, especially Sustainable Cities and Communities. International and national organizations are investing in many smart city projects in Istanbul, Türkiye’s most populous and economically prominent city. This study includes the evaluation of smart mobility projects associated with SDG11 in Istanbul. Five smart mobility projects in the database of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality are ranked taking into account six determined criteria. The feedback of decision-makers is utilized in the assessment of projects. The linguistic responses of decision-makers are incorporated into the fuzzy AHP-MARCOS method, a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model using Pythagorean fuzzy numbers. This study aims to contribute to the analysis of smart city applications.
