Developing a Metropolitan Transport System—Exemplified by the Gdansk–Gdynia–Sopot Metropolitan Area

Abstract

As regional centres with metropolitan functions, metropolises grow and develop depending on how well they can meet the area’s transport needs internally and externally, a result of their socio-economic relations. The transport system of a metropolitan area must ensure that people and goods can move efficiently, effectively and environmentally friendly. Over the last ten years, the transport system of the Gdańsk–Gdynia–Sopot Metropolitan Area has seen a clear increase in investment. The aim has been to increase capacity and to create a more balanced modal split between the different sub-systems. This sets the context for the Transport and Mobility Strategy for the Gdańsk–Gdynia–Sopot Metropolitan Area until 2030. Using primary research on the transport system, it was diagnosed and assessed. Next, suggestions and conditions were presented on how the transport system should develop and how it fits in with the policy of sustainable transport and mobility. The objective of this article is to present the main principles and objectives of strategic transport planning within the metropolitan area, the methods for developing parts of the strategy, main results and conclusions that feed into the discussion on how the Gdańsk–Gdynia–Sopot Metropolitan Area’s transport system should develop.
