Abstract

This study comprehensively evaluates the role of architectural planning in developing sustainable electric mobility infrastructure. As transport emissions rise with motorization, designing low-carbon alternatives requires nuanced, interdisciplinary solutions. Through analysis of urban form, charging access, street layouts, and public transit integration influence on electric vehicle adoption, the research assesses retrofitting challenges and opportunities afforded by forward-thinking design. Conceptualizing mobility ecosystems as sociotechnical systems, the chapter explores dimensions of accessibility, integration, and adaptability in architectural approaches. Sustainability, scalability, and flexibility are theorized as principles fundamental to resilient infrastructure planning. Empirical studies on smart grid technologies' potential to optimize renewable energy charging management are also critically appraised. Finally, analyses of how inclusive, equitable planning supports social equity and policy goals qualitatively examine best practices.
