The modern way of life is conditioned by fast transportation. This, in turn, requires integration of many additional contents that opens the opportunity to the passengers for quick access to their target-food, accommodation, entertainment, communication. The distance of the existing railway station (3.7 km from the city centre) makes it hardly accessible to the population, therefore it is neglected and the rail traffic in the city of Kumanovo is minimized. On the other hand, the bus station has a good location, but the building is in poor condition, which impedes the functioning of the city and intercity bus service. Adjacent to the existing bus station, a segment of the railroad from the proposed "Corridor 8" transits, which opens the question of the importance of rail transport and its impact in the further development of the city. These considerations clearly indicate the need to establish an integrated transport hub, whose proposed location touches the downtown area, but is still in the zone between the city and the suburbia, which includes adjoining contents such as: retail, hospitality and culture, which will help achieve the goal of the transportation hub as a starting point of development of a new city nucleus, a new point in the city.

This article presented is aimed at identifying opportunities to improve the attractiveness of public transport, particularly that of the suburban bus service, thus providing for its precedence over individual car traffic in the city of Bratislava and its agglomeration in the Bratislava region. The subject is oriented to the impact of proposed changes in the transport operation and organisation from regional public transport point of view to the area adjacent to the city centre, especially in terms of the significant position of Mlynské Nivy Bus Station (MN Bus Station) which is now under complete rebuilding. The solution is shown how id possible to be a part of the integrated public transport services and the mylne zmýšľajúca competition among the operators especially state against private ones. Using the suburb lines as an express bus service on the area of the city is one of the possibility to operate pravisdelne during the all days in the city and not only to cover the rush hours.

The article presents research materials and analysis of factors affecting the creation of new nodes of public spaces, as starting points for the development of Kotlin Island and the city of Kronstadt. Their current state and problems, resources and opportunities are described. Currently, there is a process of rethinking the value of the coastal territories of Kronstadt, the potential of which is not realized. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is to increase the use of coastal territories by creating tourism and public-business infrastructure along the coastline. Kronstadt has a number of unique characteristics, the use of which can transfer it from degrading to developing. This is possible by creating a polycentric model in the city - new growth points, as well as rethinking the value of abandoned and coastal territories. This approach will not only increase funding, attract more people, provide a sufficient number of jobs, but also subsequently create conditions for the further development of the city as an independent unit - the center of the St. Petersburg metropolitan area.

The case here proposed, concerning the city of Prato, is an experimental project of the Region of Tuscany referring NECSTouR model (www.necstour.eu) for the implementation of a Tourism Observatory for competitiveness and sustainability of the destination. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how the Tourism Destination Observatory (TDO) is a knowledge management tool for the further development of tourism in this area, and how this could act as a driving force for the creation of a smart city. The methodology includes an original set of indicators on the sustainability and the competitiveness of tourist destinations, in a perspective of integrated and complementary measurements between tourist destination sustainability and city smartness. This may be a starting point for local government process.

Operational Aspects

During the 20th century, the once common practice of trapping sewer sediments at key locations within sewerage systems has lost favour with UK sewerage designers and, to a lesser extent, operators. The reasons for this include the perception of a priori unquantifiable maintenance, and the difficulties of sewer sediment extraction in town centres in an environmentally acceptable fashion. In order to assess the need for and requirements of such trapping systems, a survey of UK sewerage operators was carried out. The results of this survey have been used as a starting point to initiate the development of a design and operational methodology for the utilisation of traps. The survey highlighted the lack of guidance available and the importance of trap monitoring to enhance performance. A fill rate model is proposed for the design and operational aspects of cleaning and monitoring traps, using two of the most recently developed “near bed solids” transport equations. The model has been applied to a trap situated on a trunk sewer in the city centre area of Dundee. The pollution potential of trap and in-pipe sediments has also been assessed by considering the biodegradability of the sediment fractions likely to be released into the flow column during storm events.

City Park

Henryk Jordan – who lived in Cracow at the turn of 19th and 20th century – was a well-known and esteemed medical doctor, social and political activist as well as an art patron and publicist. His most prominent heritage is a city park named after him. At the time it was a location where pioneering work promoting physical culture among youngsters took place. First trainings started in 1889 and instantly became popular. Trainings were carefully organized and combined physical training with a promotion of a patriotism. At the beginning of 1890’s Jordan introduced football which became very popular amongst male teenagers. Football became a part of trainings and competitions, and after a while organized football teams started to play in the park. This was a starting point of the oldest still existing Polish football clubs: Cracovia and Wisła. Jordan’s ideas inspired others, and soon many other cities in Poland. Jordan’s park exists until today, however, it plays a role of a popularizing recreational spot in the city centre. In other cities, so-called “Jordan’s gardens” became playgrounds for children.

City Centres

The city centre is a most valuable, historically formed area of living and commercial space. However, urbanistic policies of cities do not pay enough attention to maintaining or creating appropriate living conditions for the inhabitants of city centres, while still protecting and taking into account the aesthetic and design-related assets. A chaotic management of historic city centres and the lack of appropriate spatial regulations lead to frequent conflicts and eventual withdrawal of inhabitants from the area. This article aims to identify problems specific to city centres and to show that improving the living conditions thereof is possible, which will definitely lead to city centres keeping their housing function and encourageresidents to settle within.

In the article, on the example of ropeway functioning for three years at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, we describe possibilities of improving traffic conditions in the city centre. The article presents the history of the ropeway and variability of traffic at the stage of its operation. Communication service for two stations was shown. Based on measurements of the traffic intensity for different users, we showed changes in the traffic in the area of campus. Further development of the cableways in connection with the expansion of the university was discussed.

The IME (Identity - Mobility - Ecology) Project, initiated by the City of Belgrade, aims to bring together a number of different projects focused on strengthening the city identity, promoting and implementing the concept of sustainable mobility and enhancing environmental awareness. The implementation of this project significantly influences the appearance, concept and organization of the trolleybus subsystem in the central city area. The extension of the pedestrian zone in the city centre must continue to ensure the functioning of public transport in order to meet the needs of the city's residents to reach the desired destination in an easy, simple and safe way. The main goal of the analysis Reorganization and Development of the Trolleybus subsystem in Belgrade, is to find the optimal solution for reorganization of the existing trolleybus line network as well as further development directions of the trolleybus subsystem as a significant sustainable city mobility factor.
