The smart city concept has been growing in importance in the research activities worldwide as a direction in the development of modern cities. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions are quite a new transport concept introduced in a small number of cities usually in the pilot phase. The main purpose of the article is to explore the interactions and complementarity of these concepts. This paper analyses how MaaS can support progress in achieving smart mobility, and thus the idea of a smart city. It has the potential to improve the use of assets and contributes to a reduction in the number of passenger cars in congested cities. The research methodology includes a literature review and a deductive research method. The research has shown that cities having high indexes of ‘smartness’ are more likely to implement technologically advanced ICT solutions in transport systems and both these concepts (smart city and Mobility-as-a-Service) are important for the future of cities making them more sustainable and providing a higher quality of life for residents and visitors. The results of this study can be useful for policy makers, especially at local and regional levels.

Koncepcja inteligentnego miasta jako kierunek rozwoju nowoczesnych miast zyskuje na znaczeniu jako przedmiot badań naukowych. Mobility-as-a-Service to nowa koncepcja organizacji transportu, wprowadzona w niewielkiej liczbie miast, mogąca poprawić wykorzystanie zasobów, zmniejszyć udział samochodów osobowych w przewozach i po- ziom kongestii. Głównym celem artykułu było przedstawienie badań nad interakcjami i komplementarnością tych dwóch koncepcji. W pracy wykorzystano przegląd literatury i wnioskowanie metodą dedukcji. Wykazano, jak MaaS może wspomagać osiągnięcie inteligentnej mobilności i celów inteligentnego miasta. Badanie empiryczne dowiodło, iż miasta mające wysokie wskaźniki w rankingu inteligentnych miast wykazują większe skłonności do wdrażania zaawansowanych technologicznie rozwiązań zaliczanych do MaaS. Obie te koncepcje (smart city i Mobility-as-a-Service) są istotne dla miast, aby rozwijały się w sposób zrównoważony i zapewniały wysoką jakość życia mieszkańcom.
