Sustainable mobility - strengths and weaknesses of electromobility in smart cities

Sustainable mobility is the goal of modern cities. The following article explores this issue. A SWOT analysis was carried out using the Delphi study. The result of this study shows how and what kind of electromobility strategy is being used in the largest Polish cities. The article analyses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with implementing electromobility as part of a smart city and sustainable mobility. It shows how modern cities can be combined with the efficient use of not only renewable but also non-renewable fossil resources. These urban solutions aim to save materials and use energy (of various kinds) efficiently and will, therefore, positively impact the environment. In addition to expert research, available strategic documents on which the local government units base their activities (for instance, mobility policies and analyses of strategic documents - expert interviews were conducted on this basis) were used to create the SWOT matrix. SWOT analysis and descriptive statistics were used for the research. The aim of the study was to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the implementation of electromobility strategies in cities, with a particular focus on the assumptions and requirements of smart cities. Considerations include a discussion of effective approaches to sustainable urban development using electromobility principles and future trends.
