Summary/Abstract: One of the key challenges of the 21st century is the increasing level of urbanisation, which, combined with the growth of the urban population, creates difficulties in urban management, espe-cially in the field of transport use and organisation. The answer to this is the concept of sustainable mobility, which aims to optimise the management and planning of the development of a city’s trans-port system while moving away from a sectoral approach, i.e. considering issues on only one level (in this case, the economic aspects). Instead, a holistic approach is proposed, focusing on multifaceted measures that include environmental and social issues in addition to economic ones. One example of the application of such an approach is Kommuneplan 2019, defining Copenhagen’s development plans for the period 2019–2031. The subject of this article is an analysis of Kommuneplan 2019, a document outlining Copenhagen’s development plans, focusing on transport issues in relation to the concept of sustainable mobility. The aim of the article is to present the guidelines of Kommune-plan 2019 on the issues of shaping the urban transport system in Copenhagen and to assess them in terms of the implementation of the sustainable mobility concept. The following research methods were used: desk research, critical document review, expert method and inference. The time horizon of the research is for the years 2019–2023.The work is divided into two parts. In the first, a literature re-view and an analysis of available documents regulating spatial planning in Copenhagen is carried out. In the second, the individual actions planned by the authors of Kommuneplan 2019 are presented and considered with a breakdown of their economic, environmental and social aspects. The conclusions of the paper focus on the use of a holistic approach taking into account non-economic issues (e.g. environmental and social) and focusing on the diversification of transport modes as necessary when aiming to put the concept of sustainable mobility into practice.
