Abstract As automobile-centered transportation systems encounter growing limitations, the use of personal mobility devices such as bicycles and other options is steadily increasing. Yet, current urban planning and residential complex design still provide insufficient support systems that accommodate these last-mile transportation modes. Building on prior research on bicycle-related facilities in domestic collective housing, as well as analysis of the legal framework and the expanded concept of the last mile, this study examined bicycle-related architectural planning and support facilities in overseas collective housing, focusing on continuity, accessibility, convenience, and aesthetics. The review covered last-mile facility types, bicycle parking methods, and supporting infrastructure such as repair stations, rest areas, and other amenities. As a foundation for improving bicycle facilities in domestic collective housing, a comprehensive and forward-looking architectural planning approach is urgently needed, one that consistently priortizes continuity and convenience over merely allocating leftover or residual storage space.
