Sustainable Mobility in the Context of Humanization of the Urban Environment: A regional experience

The purpose of the research is to identify modern approaches to the spatial development of Belarusian cities. The article focuses on the role of transit-oriented design in spatial development of cities. The principles of 'green urban construction' and their implementation in pilot projects for urban areas reconstruction in Polotsk-Novopolotsk agglomeration are considered. The introduction of developed territory transformation models into urban planning practice was suggested. The participation of Belarus in international initiatives and projects relating to urban and transport planning are assessed. Organizational and institutional prerequisites for using the European experience of mobility management have been established. The scientific novelty consists in the study of the concept of sustainable mobility as a tool for territorial development and humanization of the environment with a focus on the conditions in Belarus. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
