Modern cities face serious challenges in the field of transport and environmental safety. The growth in the number of cars, traffic intensity and urbanisation leads to a deterioration in air quality, increased noise pollution and exacerbated parking problems. These factors have a negative impact on public health and the overall quality of life in cities. Lutsk city community, like many other cities in Ukraine, faces similar problems.
