The central zone of the city is the largest group of destination targets and as such attracts a large amount of daily migration. The basic idea of sustainable urban mobility is to provide a better quality space for pedestrians and cyclists as carriers of a sustainable way of movement through the discouragement of individual motorized traffic. The article presents one view of the organization of the city road network with the aim of achieving the sustainability of the system in the central city zone of Banja Luka.

Needs of standing traffic significantly burden the infrastructure and functioning of urbansettlements. The problem is particularly acute in non-developed and developing countries whosecities are experiencing a virtually uncontrolled growth. Control of standing traffic is also an elementof sustainable urban mobility. The paper presents the authors’ idea to meet the needs of standingtraffic through a disincentive of passenger cars in central city zone and construction of high capacityparking garages around the central zone to provide parking space as a service for the area free ofmotorized traffic.

The subject of research in this paper is the planning of urban mobility development in the narrow part of Sarajevo using a model based on the growth matrix. The hypothesis of this research is: Based on the analysis of supply and demand of the city traffic system, good practices in sustainable urban mobility and existing strategies and development plans, a model for managing the whole planning process of sustainable urban mobility of the city traffic system in Sarajevo by 2026 can be proposed.In accordance with the experience of Europe’s main urban mobility observatory (Eltis) and sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs), the key elements are defined. The next step, after defining the elements of urban mobility, is to carry out the quantification of elements for 2016. Thereafter, there is a concise explanation of the growth matrix and model of managing the urban mobility planning process is created. In the research results, direct and indirect growth rates were elaborated and analyzed, i.e. the individual and synergic effects of the model. Finally, the synthesis of the research results was presented.

Some small- and medium-sized Global South cities have unsustainable transport systems and no information to plan interventions in addition to having limited resources for data collection. This study proposes a method to understand Public Transport (PT) ridership in cities of these characteristics, based on previous studies and by analysing available indicators related to Manheim’s macro-variables, to identify their influence on the PT ridership. The method was applied in the city of Mexicali, Mexico. The results help to understand the causes of the low PT ridership and have implications for achieving sustainable urban mobility in the city. Findings reveal that mobility planning in Mexicali has been occurring without properly considering activity system related variables, so it is necessary to integrate urban and transport administration. Moreover, to increase PT demand in Mexicali, mobility strategies to discourage the use of private cars are necessary. The proposed method can be applied in other cities of the Global South with characteristics similar to the case study to understand the causes of PT ridership, so these can be considered by the agencies responsible for the planning of the city’s transportation system to promote a sustainable urban mobility.

This article focussed on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans of Lithuania cities. These plans started to prepare in 2016 and now the need to assess their technological, economic, environmental and social aspects has emerged. To assess prepared Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans and their efficiency established different assessment systems that identify the very effective urban mobility measures and their impact to city development. These assessments do not indicate whether the measures are appropriately chosen according to the structure, characteristics, existing transport system of the city, the assessment shows the significance of the mobility measures to urban development.

Sustainable urban mobility adds a new dimension to the circulation of goods and people in the city: sustainability. The increasing number of individual motor vehicles is an accurate urban mobility diagnostic, by highlighting strengths and weaknesses, to guide public policies aimed at improving the quality of urban life. In this paper, the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index has been discussed and then applied to evaluate the sustainable urban mobility in Campinas (SP, Brazil). For the period 2010-2014, the index shows a persistent insufficiency in the sustainable urban mobility of this city, even if there was a slight improvement in the period. This is due to the environmental dimension, considering the increasing fuel consumption. It is therefore necessary to look for possible solutions involving primarily collective transportation and non-motorized one, especially for short distance.

Abstract The Smart Travel Planner concept for an optimal travel choice, supported by a Personalized Internet Portal, has to promote the sustainable urban mobility. STP is an important tool for Sustainable Urban Transport Decalogue’s implementation that is intended to result in lower emissions, better health and lower investment costs in the road infrastructure. The questionnaires included are for checking its public acceptance in the city and at end users’ level.
