The thesis addresses the concept of sustainable mobility in urban environments and its role in the development of smart cities. The central question is how sustainable transport and its planning can contribute to a higher quality of life, the reduction of negative environmental impacts, and the inclusion of citizens in decision-making processes. The thesis focuses on the interconnection between the development of information and communication technologies, the architecture and structure of smart cities, and the introduction of smart solutions in the field of mobility.
In the theoretical part, key concepts are defined and presented, such as smart city, smart city architecture, and the models that define both smart cities and sustainable mobility. The thesis also provides an in-depth analysis of good practice examples from the local environment, with an emphasis on communities that have successfully implemented measures to improve accessibility and connectivity.
The findings show that sustainable transport and mobility are not merely infrastructural challenges but require a holistic approach. This approach includes changing social habits, raising awareness, and actively involving citizens and service users. The main challenges in transitioning to sustainable transport modes remain deeply entrenched traffic patterns, a lack of positive everyday experiences, and limitations in financing and cooperation. Nevertheless, positive steps can already be observed in the local environment, particularly at the municipal level, where many communities actively design models and solutions aimed at greater efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility.
