Description:

Environmental protection as rational shaping of the environment, management of environmental resources in accordance with the principle of sustainable development, counteracting pollution, is integrally related to the urban area. It is in the cities, which are the living environment for half of the world's population, that most activities and initiatives aimed at environmental protection are undertaken. An important action is to reduce the impact of urban transport on the environment. In particular, increased road traffic in urban areas is a constant increase in pollutants introduced into the environment in the form of solid, liquid and gaseous substances, harmful to people, the environment and spatial structures. One of such negative impacts of transport is the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. In the process of limiting it, actions are taken in the area of shaping urban transport systems and mobility of city residents. For the purpose of identifying individual processes that are components of these activities, literature research was carried out, the results of which are presented in the article.
