PRISMA protocol is applied for inclusion and exclusion of identified data extracted from the Scopus database and then analysed with the help of VOS viewer software.

Social and civic engagement in urban planning through a shared responsibility, by rewarding sustainability (walking, cycling, uses of public transport to minimise CO2 emissions), encouraging people to identify untapped urban areas, augmented reality (AR) tour to boost tourism industry, supporting evidence based urban planning and reward mechanism to turn sustainable habits to ingrained behaviour can be used as thought-provoking milestone.
