Gdynia (Poland)

Gdynia, a port city on Poland’s Baltic coast, is part of the Tricity metropolitan area alongside Gdańsk and Sopot. With a population of approximately 242,000 and spanning 391.5 km², Gdynia's hilly terrain and proximity to the sea influence its urban planning and transport strategies. ​

The city has been proactive in sustainable mobility, implementing its first Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) in 2008. This plan emphasizes reducing car dependency, enhancing public transport, and promoting cycling. Gdynia's public transport system includes buses, trolleybuses, and suburban light rail, with 77% of residents living within a five-minute walk to a bus stop. ​

Recent initiatives under the SPINE project aim to expand bus lanes, improving efficiency and reducing emissions. The city's geography, characterized by coastal cliffs and forested hills, presents challenges that Gdynia addresses through integrated transport solutions and stakeholder engagement. ​
