EU Recommendations for Sustainable Development of Cities

Abstract

The paper presents EU recommendations in the concept of plans for the sustainable development of transport in cities, which was created as a result of extensive dialogue between stakeholders and planning experts from all over the EU, supported by the initiatives of the European Commission through the development of a number of projects. The European Commission has been actively promoting the concept of sustainable urban mobility planning for several years. Through the funding of a series of projects related to this topic, stakeholders and experts were brought together to analyze existing approaches, discuss problem areas and identify best practices. Public urban and suburban passenger transport systems (JGTP), according to the principles of the European Commission, play a key role in achieving the goal of sustainable development and sustainable transport in cities. In this way, plans can help cities in the efficient use of existing transport infrastructure and services, and ensure economical implementation proposed measures.
