In the global GX context
This review addresses a critical gap in global energy transition literature by integrating energy justice into technical optimization of neighborhood energy hubs. It provides a transferable framework applicable both in developed and developing contexts, highlighting the need for adaptive regulations and participatory models. The proposed Cyber-Physical-Social perspective is relevant for ISSB and CSRD-aligned sustainability reporting.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study presents a comprehensive and systematic integrative review of Neighborhood-Level Energy Hubs (NLEHs) as pivotal enablers of sustainable and resilient urban energy systems. In response to accelerating climate pressures, rapid urbanization, and the decentralization of energy production, NLEHs are conceptualized as multi-carrier platforms that enable coordinated energy generation, storage, conversion, and exchange at the neighborhood scale. Utilizing a PRISMA-informed methodology to synthesize 125 core studies, the review systematically evaluates recent advances across five interconnected dimensions: conceptual foundations, system typologies, energy flow architectures, urban integration, and optimization paradigms. Unlike conventional reviews, this study explicitly bridges the critical gap between techno-economic optimization and socio-environmental priorities. A key novelty is the proposed mathematical integration of energy justice and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) directly into optimization algorithms (e.g., MILP and MPC) as dynamic constraints and penalty terms. Particular emphasis is placed on participatory governance models, lifecycle sustainability metrics, and digitalization tools such as AI-driven energy management systems and urban digital twins. The analysis further reveals critical research gaps, highlighting a stark geographic dichotomy between high-tech, market-driven NLEHs in the Global North and resilience-oriented hybrid microgrids in the Global South, alongside the lack of adaptive regulatory frameworks. By proposing a unified Cyber–Physical–Social perspective, this study provides actionable insights for planners, policymakers, and researchers to support the development of scalable, inclusive, and context-sensitive NLEH implementations. Ultimately, the paper contributes to redefining neighborhood-scale energy systems as not only efficient and low-carbon infrastructures, but also as socially equitable, globally scalable, and institutionally adaptive components of future smart cities.
