“…Based on the case studies of the cities of Oslo (Norway) and Copenhagen (Denmark), Naess et al [28] highlighted, as an important barrier, the lack of coordination between planners and decision-makers at different sectoral and territorial levels. Bezerra et al [5] focused on the relevant barriers for small and medium-sized urban areas in Sao Paolo (Brazil). The pandemic of COVID-19 is also identified as a strong sustainable mobility barrier as it seems to favor the use of private car use over public transport or any sharing mobility solutions [29][30][31].…”

“…The challenge of effectively coping with the growing mobility demand, at the least possible economic, social, and environmental cost for today and the future, comprises the main goal of sustainable transport policy over the last three decades [4]. Towards this goal, various models, systems, methodologies, techniques, guidelines, and awareness campaigns are being developed worldwide [5,6].…”

Sustainable urban mobility has been the epicenter both at the scientific and administrative level during the last decades, with a high number of relevant research projects, awareness campaigns, and other initiatives taking place at the local, national, and international level. However, many urban areas have so far achieved limited results in this direction because of political, institutional, organizational, technological, infrastructural, and socio-economic barriers as well as unforeseeable (e.g., COVID-19) conditions. The overall aim of the present research study is to support policy-making by proposing a methodology that identifies and prioritizes the sustainable mobility barriers for a specific urban area, with a view to developing effective policies. Towards this purpose, this work provides, in the first phase, a comprehensive inventory of barriers based on a literature review. In the second phase, a methodology using as a basic scientific tool a modified Delphi-AHP is proposed for the adaptation of this inventory to a specific urban area and for both the evaluation and prioritization of sustainable mobility barriers. The whole process is then applied in Thessaloniki, Greece, a European city suffering from many problems related to sustainable mobility. The above pilot application confirms that this approach can be integrated as a supporting tool in the first steps of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs).

“…The main strategic objectives are to ensure the safety of territories, capital construction projects and the creation of the most favorable conditions for human life. In this regard, we can distinguish three directions of urban planning policy (Figure 1) capitalization of intellectual potential and contributing to the development of competitive advantages of the territory [13].…”

In the process of research the essence of urban policy was disclosed, the basic concept of urban space development were considered, historical prerequisites for the formation of public spaces and modern world trends were identified, a review of the regulatory framework for the formation and implementation of urban planning policies was carried out, priority directions for improving the efficiency of the mechanisms for implementing the urban development policy of the district of Saransk in conditions of the transformation of public spaces were developed.

“…However, the city governance, or more generally the governance of a territory, based on the principles of sustainable urban mobility, is a complex duty because of political and technical conflicts (which inevitably emerge in a multifaceted socio-technical framework) and it can be helped by considering adequate strategies and measures, also investigating citizen preferences and stakeholder engagement [ 1 , 2 ]. These include, for example, effective solutions for public transport and accessibility [ 3 , 4 ], adaptive transport services [ 5 ], adequate infrastructures [ 6 , 7 ], technological devices for managing traffic [ 8 – 10 ], advanced automation techniques for raising peoples well-being and advanced intelligent transport system solutions [ 11 – 13 ], in order to satisfy the mobility needs of residents and, more in general, of the city users [ 14 ].…”

Cities play a fundamental role not only in the growth processes under the sustainability paradigm, but also as a driving-force behind economy and they constitute places of connectivity and innovation. More than two thirds of the European population live in urban areas and this percentage is continuously growing. Therefore, cities are fundamental hubs of the transport system, since most journeys start or end within urban areas. The direct consequence is that many of the negative transport externalities, such as congestion, road accidents and pollution, have the greatest impacts in these contexts. The European Commission emphasized integrated planning at all mobility level to enhance new forms of sustainable urban mobility, in order to reduce externalities associated with transport sector. In this view, the aim of this paper is to analyze the European guidelines for the development and the implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the corresponding Italian guidelines for the preparation of so-called “Piani Urbani della Mobilità Sostenibile” (PUMS). A comparative evaluation is proposed to emphasize the new paradigm of sustainable transport planning and highlight critical evidence between the European legal tools and their transposition at national level, also in the light of their recent updates. The results of this analysis lay the basis for the critical assessment of best practices and the review of related SUMP, in order to identify the key elements to assist traffic planners and managers in their decision-making procedures for the identification of successful strategies and the implementation of effective actions towards sustainable mobility.
