Abstract

Although the Republic of Moldova has experienced massive increase in vehicle ownership and use, some of the latest advances in how to approach and nurture public space are underutilized. This article summarizes the basic findings of a project aimed at transfer of knowledge and the implementation of the smart city process in Chișinău, Moldova. Chișinău presents a perfect opportunity for full-scale transformation regarding mobility in the smart city process. In its current state, where there are still enough opportunities to make significant improvements and for the region itself, the Republic of Moldova falls into the category of middle- to lower-income countries. Moreover, this article looks at the difficulties of preparing a smart mobility strategy while under the effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic in the form of social distancing by the city. The subject of study is to determine whether a long-distance strategy can be properly created and introduced, mostly based on proper communication. Key data sources were examined and chosen as the basis for determining weaknesses and as a basis for determining the main pillars. While challenging, this paper finds distanced knowledge transfer and planning to be achievable.
