Abstract

Іn the context of significant deterioration of the ecology in cities, which is caused by the operation of transport, and the problems of energy and resource conservation, which are relevant for Ukraine in the context of its socio-political, economic and security situation, ensuring mobility of the urban environment at the present stage requires the implementation of sustainable development approaches. Residents and authorities of many Ukrainian cities are increasingly aware of the negative impact of personal motor transport on the level of comfort of living in the city, so the focus of urban planning is gradually shifting from cars to more environmentally friendly mobility modes, such as: walking, cycling and public transport. Today, one can trace quite successful examples of projects for the development of sustainable urban mobility systems in many Ukrainian cities, which are implemented at the intersection of the interests of ensuring mobility, combating climate change and achieving accessibility and equality for their residents. The main directions of sustainable mobility development are prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle traffic, developing public transport, and reorganizing urban street spaces. A thorough analysis of examples of practical implementation in Ukrainian cities of projects aimed at developing sustainable mobility made it possible to identify the main problems and obstacles that occurred during their implementation, and to assess the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to eliminate such obstacles. Taking into account modern Ukrainian experience, the main recommendations for the development of sustainable mobility systems through relevant investment projects concern the following aspects: attracting external financing; rational use of resources; participation (cooperation of local authorities with the public); testing of project solutions; monitoring the implementation of implemented measures; planning and justification of implementation deadlines; exchange of experience; environmental design. Urban mobility problems can be quite specific in different cities, but the vast majority of them are caused by uncontrolled growth in the number of motor vehicles, limited resources, unsuccessful transport planning, insufficiently developed infrastructure, imperfect transport network and inefficient municipal management. Therefore, given the socio-political, economic, and security situation in Ukraine, the main recommendation for ensuring the development of sustainable mobility systems in Ukrainian cities under these circumstances is to focus on creating a rational policy for those types of mobility that are environmentally friendly, as well as socially and economically sustainable
