Abstract
This study explores the need for radical change in the transport sector, focusing on circularity and its implementation through innovative technologies. The unsustainable nature of current transport systems is discussed, highlighting the urgent need for change due to environmental impacts such as the climate crisis exacerbated by fossil fuels. The research presents a framework for 'Transport Circularity' that integrates solar energy, autonomous vehicles and other intelligent transport systems to create more sustainable, efficient and socially inclusive mobility solutions. Beforehand, drawing on philosophical perspectives, particularly Spinoza's views and Marxist critiques on conventional transportation, the study argues that a systemic overhaul is inevitable. This transition's social and economic implications are also discussed, including its potential to dismantle existing power structures that benefit from the status quo. The study concludes with a vision of a resilient, sustainable and equitable future for urban and regional transport systems, giving a concrete example of Izmir.
