Rapid urbanization and population growth create significant challenges in the field of transport, especially in the context of sustainability and environmental friendliness. Modern cities face increasingly serious problems of pollution, traffic congestion and excessive energy consumption, which further exacerbate the impact on climate change. In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of urban environments, it is necessary to adopt innovative transport models that reduce pollution, optimize mobility and increase the resilience of cities to environmental challenges.
The paper explores innovative approaches in the planning and implementation of sustainable transport systems, with a particular emphasis on the integration of public transport, the development of cycling and pedestrian corridors, as well as the use of smart technologies to improve transport. Concepts such as "smart cities" and "15-minute cities" will be analyzed, which enable efficient and environmentally friendly population movement.
The comparative analysis method will present examples of cities that have successfully implemented sustainable transport solutions, such as Copenhagen and Paris, in order to identify best practices and opportunities for application in different urban environments.
Through this analysis, the aim is to highlight the importance of sustainable transport as a key factor in reducing pollution, improving the quality of life of citizens and building dynamic, resilient and more environmentally friendly cities of the future.
