Niskoemisyjny transport publiczny jako czynnik zrównoważonego rozwoju miast

<jats:p>Low emission public transport as a factor of sustainable urban development In the face of global challenges related to urbanization, climate change and the need to improve the quality of life of city dwellers, the monograph by Dr. Eng. Konrad Henryk Bachanek addresses the complex issue of low-emission public transport as a tool supporting the sustainable development of agglomerations. The author conducts an in-depth qualitative analysis of the cause-and-effect relationships between dynamic changes in the transport systems of cities and their development scenarios. The publication integrates environmental, social and economic threads, presenting public transport not only as an element of infrastructure, but also as a catalyst for changes improving the functioning of modern cities. The monograph stands out with its unique approach, which combines interdisciplinary analysis with a pragmatic view of implementing transport innovations. The author not only identifies key challenges related to electromobility and low-emission transport solutions, but also proposes detailed strategies for their implementation adapted to Polish realities. Against the background of available works, this monograph emphasizes the importance of intersectoral cooperation and engaging local communities in the process of transforming transport systems. The study includes detailed case studies from Poland and abroad, indicating best practices and their adaptation potential. The conducted own research provides valuable conclusions regarding the preferences of transport users, opinions of organizers, as well as barriers and challenges facing Polish cities. The author takes into account the specificity of small, medium and large cities, proposing development scenarios adapted to their diverse needs and possibilities. The monograph is a unique combination of theoretical and practical knowledge, offering a comprehensive view of the transformation of urban transport towards low-emission. By integrating a scientific approach with practical recommendations, the book is not only a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, but also a useful tool for decision-makers, urban planners and urban policy leaders who shape the future of sustainable cities.</jats:p>
