Universities as Part of the Urban Transport System—Analysis Using the Example of the Gdansk University of Technology and Medical University of Gdansk
Abstrakt
Many cities perceive academic function as a distinctive feature, representing the rank and prestige of the city. Universities provide places for work and learning for a high number of people and represent a significant proportion compared to the total city population (even 22%). Many of Polish universities are located in the urban structure in the form of spatially concentrated campuses, where the number of people working and studying reaches from a few thousand to several dozens of thousands. Because they are the destination for a number of daily, obligatory school and work-related trips, universities can therefore be perceived as the city’s significant traffic generators. The paper describes problems resulting from the existence of universities in the city structure for both neighbouring areas and cities’ transport systems, based on research conducted for two universities in Gdansk. The research included traffic and parking counts and surveys of transport behaviour conducted among employees and students.
