contents Urban Air Mobility (UAM) offers a transformative approach to addressing urban congestion, improving accessibility, and advancing environmental sustainability. Rapid progress has emerged in three tightly linked domains since 2020: (1) Communication, where dynamic spectrum allocation and low-altitude channel characterization support reliable air-ground data exchange; (2) UAM management, with novel air-traffic control concepts for dense, largely autonomous urban airspace; and (3) Sustainability, driven by energy-efficient propulsion, integrated charging infrastructure, and holistic environmental assessment. This paper reviews and synthesizes the latest research across these areas, compares the state-of-the-art solutions, and outlines the technological and infrastructural milestones that are critical to realizing a scalable, sustainable UAM ecosystem.
