Different criteria encompassing other cities would also have been possible and worthwhile.

Therefore, Table 3, a short version of the complete table (Appendix A), summarizes the analysis has been done by a desk research exploration throughout the Eltis platform, the European urban mobility observatory, complemented by in-depth research in many municipalities and government websites. Although the Eltis platform shows in its city database section (Eltis, 2022) that all the 27 EU capitals have their plans available online, some of those links were inaccurate, and the current situation is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. The situation For instance, in the case of Zagreb, the link displayed by the Eltis platform was related to Sisak SUMP, another Croatian city. Under the tentative to find any mobility/transport plan from Zagreb, the closest one found was the (translated to English would be General Urban Plan of Zagreb), which addresses some

transportation measures, but it is not the plan focus. In addition, when Nicosia has been researched on the Eltis platform, the link displayed that potentially would be Nicosia SUMP is broken. Although through desk research, it has been found The Nicosia Integrated Mobility Master Plan. However, it is only the appendices of a final report showing situation from 2010. Thus, it was not a mobility/transport plan, but through this research, it has been discovered that Nicosia s SUMP is currently under development and should be ready in 2023 (Köllinger, 2021).

Additionally, Athens research on the Eltis database did not show the plan but instead displayed a piece of news from the Municipality of Athens website saying that Athens was the first municipality in Greece with an Integrated Action Plan for Climate Change . Nevertheless, the desk research done discovered that there is a website from the municipality where the SUMP (or in Greek) is currently under development . Moreover, similar to Nicosia, the link displayed on the Eltis platform that was supposed to show Riga s SUMP was also broken. Hence, it has been discovered throughout the analysis that the capital of Latvia has its SUMP under development, where the first part related to the short-term actions was published in 2019 .

In the case of Valletta, the Eltis platform does not show the plan but a link that guides toward some general data slides from a SUMP workshop that happened in 2012. However, this research has found National Transport Master Plan 2025 Malta , a national strategy that has also incorporated regional and local urban mobility frameworks due to the country s size. Nonetheless, doing a SUMP for Valletta Extended Region has also been mentioned in the national document as one of its aims, but no news related to its development yet. Likewise, Bratislava does not have any mobility/transport plan yet. The research on the Eltis database led to a link which shows Koncepcia Rozvoja Mestskej Hromadnej Dopravy V Bratislave 2013-2025 (translated to English would be Concept of Public Transport Development in Bratislava 2013-2025) that is mainly a plan from 2016 focused exclusively on public transport lava, 2016), not approaching all the other transport modes. Moreover, some additional research has been done trying to find a more holistic mobility plan for the capital of Slovakia, but nothing has been found so far, only some news saying that the city plans to improve its public transport with a loan from
