The current trends are showing that number of people living in urban areas are constantly increasing. Although, the urban areas contribute significantly to the economic growth and employment, they are the source of multiple problems, such as air pollution, congestion, noise pollution and safety - mainly caused by transport and traffic. The paper is analysing the current situation and trends related to the sustainable urban mobility issues and it gives a short review of urban mobility situation in Croatia. It was shown that an implementation of sustainable urban mobility solutions has a positive impact on long-term ecological sustainability, satisfaction of basic mobility needs of citizens, and equity of inter- and intra-generational mobility, as well as that this implementation represents an imperative in 21st centuries’ urban areas. Beside the method of secondary sources, that included available scientific research, legal documents and other sources, the methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison were also used. The main aim of the paper was to give a scientific overview of the fast growing changes affecting the urban mobility and to warn of the urgency and the necessity of introducing sustainable mobility solutions. |
