One of the key panels was the meeting \u201e<strong>Transport of the Future \u2013 A Common Path to a Low-Emission Metropolis<\/strong>\u201d, which was attended by <strong>Micha\u0142 Jamro\u017c, project manager of Gda\u0144sk Nowe Po\u0142udnie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the panel, along with representatives from OMGGS, HELISA, and Omida Group, they discussed how a metropolis can reduce CO\u2082 emissions, develop intelligent mobility, and design urban space in a way that genuinely impacts the quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Urbanism Instead of Combustion <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his TEDx talk, Micha\u0142 Jamro\u017c shifted the focus from technology to people and their daily lives. Instead of discussing which engine burns less, he invited the audience to look at a completely different level \u2013 at the city map and how its shape determines our choices. He emphasized that public transport is ecological by definition, but it has no chance of working effectively if the city forces residents to travel long distances daily. \u201eThe most ecological kilometer is the one we don't have to travel,\u201d he said, showing that the issue of mobility begins much earlier than at the platform or bus stop. He pointed out that pedestrians and cyclists should form the core of urban mobility, and public transport should be their stable support, not competition. The problem is not whether we travel by electric, hydrogen, or combustion vehicle \u2013 the real trouble arises where the city is too sprawling, services are too far away, and one cannot get to school or the shop without a car. This is precisely why sustainable mobility begins with smart urbanism, not technology. Micha\u0142 cited examples from Copenhagen, Vienna, and Freiburg \u2013 cities that have shown that consistent space design can genuinely change residents\u201e daily habits. Not because they were \u201dconvinced\" of ecology, but because the city was designed so that the sustainable choice became the obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does this mean for the Gda\u0144sk Nowe Po\u0142udnie project?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gda\u0144sk Nowe Po\u0142udnie project is already implementing these assumptions through:<br>\u2022 <strong>Transit Oriented Development (TOD)<\/strong> \u2013 intensive, mixed-use development in the vicinity of future PKM Po\u0142udnie stops;<br>\u2022 <strong>local district centers<\/strong> \u2013 places where one can live, work, shop, and relax without the need for daily long commutes;<br>\u2022 <strong>priority for pedestrian and cycling traffic<\/strong>, with public transport as the foundation of the system;<br>\u2022 <strong>reducing distances to services, schools, and workplaces<\/strong>, which directly translates into reduced CO\u2082 emissions;<br>\u2022 <strong>coordination of road and rail transport as a single metropolitan network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gda\u0144sk Nowe Po\u0142udnie: A Project That Responds to Real Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What resonated particularly strongly during the discussion was the fact that low-emission transport is not a technological project, but an urbanistic one. And a well-designed district \u2013 dense, accessible, vibrant, co-created with residents \u2013 is one of the most effective climate tools that cities have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gda\u0144sk Nowe Po\u0142udnie project is being created in this spirit: to reduce distances, improve access to services, and create a district that operates in the rhythm of residents' daily lives \u2013 not the other way around.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 grudnia 2025 r. odby\u0142a si\u0119 kolejna edycja Pomorskiego Forum Solidarno\u015bci Klimatycznej im.
