Abstract
<ns3:p>This article analyses the planning, development, and changes in the public transport structure of the Danish capital. It highlights the factors affecting road infrastructure, which depend on government decisions, regional policies over the decades, and social, geographic, and ecological conditions. It presents the assumptions and results of actions undertaken within the framework of designated general plans for passenger transport in Copenhagen, their public perception, and environmental benefits. It suggests directions for other urban agglomerations to build a sustainable urban transport system by presenting the key planning, infrastructure, and financing mechanisms that have been integral part of gaining by Copenhagen a position amongst the leaders in cycling and sustainable transport.</ns3:p>
