Reflection of Smart City approaches in transport strategic planning in Czech cities

The first period of development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) has been underway in the Czech Republic since 2015. The SUMP concept brings a different approach to transport planning in cities - from formulation of visions to goals and measures supporting the sustainable urban mobility vision. In contrast to “traditional” transport planning, more attention is paid to demand management rather than only the transport supply side. At the same time, cities have been developing their Smart City strategies. Logically, they both need to be coordinated and in compliance with each other.Further development of smart measures can significantly influence not only the way to reach the preferred sustainable mobility visions, but the future itself. In our research, we analysed approaches and attitudes of key stakeholders to further development of sustainable urban mobility and possible paths for achieving it.Our research is based on data collected using structured interviews with 45 key stakeholders in the field of urban mobility in Czech cities, which were further analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The paper summarizes the methodology used and main results of this research with a special focus on the Smart City context.
