Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to interpret the issues of the topic through a detailed empirical analysis, both from a theoretical and practical point of view. The aim of this article is to propose solutions for cities in the Slovak Republic through a set of selected indicators of sustainable urban development in the field of transport. Specific proposals were formulated on the basis of a detailed analysis of the current state of selected cities in the Slovak Republic with more than 50,000 inhabitants in the area of selected activities, which are defined as key for sustainable development in the field of smart transport. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the issue of sustainable development of cities and municipalities in the Slovak Republic in terms of the requirement to increase their sustainability in the future and to provide smart, efficient, accessible public services that increase the quality of life in the area. This article is part of the solution of Project VEGA no. 1/0837/21 “Spatial and temporal aspects of EU cohesion policy: Lessons learned and future perspectives” and Project VEGA no. 1/0055/21 “The importance of smart technologies in the process of mitigating the economic and socio-psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of citizens”.
