This paper compares the idea of the Human Smart City, that Polish cities plan to implement in terms of sustainable mobility, with the solutions implemented by leading Polish cities in this field. Documents developed by the European Commission - Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are an important element contributing to the development of active mobility. This study investigates to what extent Polish cities - which implement sustainable mobility as an element of the smart city idea - are simultaneously applying measures to increase the accessibility of active mobility forms and the directions, tools and methods that are used. The analysis includes solutions developed in eight Polish cities - beneficiaries of the competition of the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy ‘Human Smart City: Smart cities co-created by residents’. These are compared with solutions implemented by three cities that are leaders in sustainable mobility implementation in Poland.

W artykule porównano ideę Human Smart City, którą polskie miasta planują wdrożyć w zakresie zrównoważonej mobilności, z rozwiązaniami miast będących liderami w tej dziedzinie w Polsce. Istotnym elementem sprzyjającym rozwojowi aktywnej mobilności są dokumenty opracowane przez Komisję Europejską, np. Plan Zrównoważonej Mobilności Miejskiej (SUMP - Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan). Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakim stopniu polskie miasta, wdrażając zrównoważoną mobilność jako element idei smart city, jednocześnie realizują działania na rzecz zwiększenia dostępności form aktywnej mobilności oraz jakie kierunki, narzędzia i metody są stosowane. Analizie poddano rozwiązania wypracowane w ośmiu polskich miastach - beneficjentach konkursu Ministerstwa Funduszy i Polityki Regionalnej „Human Smart City. Inteligentne miasta współtworzone przez mieszkańców”. Zostały one porównane z rozwiązaniami wdrożonymi w trzech miastach będących liderami wdrażania zrównoważonej mobilności w Polsce.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to characterize the channels of communication between citizens and the authorities of Polish cities and check the extent to which cities use the digital possibilities of contact. Design/methodology/approach: In order to find out about the communication patterns, 280 randomly selected cities were examined. The subject of communication was part of a broader study on the functioning of a smart city in Poland. The theoretical basis used in the article is human smart city. This concept assumes that the functioning of cities requires social participation and effective communication also using channels supported by information and communication technologies (ICT). Findings: The conclusions of the study show that most cities still used the traditional approach in dealing with the locals. Personal meetings and a paper-based message are preferred. Research limitations/implications: In further research, it is worth observing in which direction the development of city websites is progressing, whether there are general tendencies to expand meeting places between residents, groups of residents and city officials, and what new functionalities are offered by city portals, including social networks. Quantitative research should be extended with case studies to better illustrate the subject of communication. Practical implications: The article can be used by municipal authorities to improve communication with residents. Moreover, it enables comparisons to be made between groups of cities differing in the number of inhabitants. Originality/value: The text considers the subject of communication between the authorities and residents, which has never been studied on a national research sample. New are also developed theoretical models on which to work.

Purpose: This paper raises theoretical issues related to the functioning of cities that are determined as smart in order to find a better operational definition for further research. Design/methodology/approach: In search of the essence of the term, the paper refers to variety of definitions of smart city, and also to the theoretical models in operation enabling the measurement and comparison of indicators among urban areas in the different world locations. The analysis was performed on three rankings: Cities in Motion Index, Mercer Quality of Living, Arcadis The Sustainable Index. Findings: The conclusions indicate that the Smart City concept is connected with sustainable development more than to the quality of life. The city rankings concerning the highest life quality is completely different from the hierarchy of smart cities. Originality/value: The paper extends the definition of smart city and it may be valuable for researchers who develop the concept of smart city in their research.
