URBANLOGIX

Putting sustainable deliveries on the urban planning agenda

The EIT Urban Mobility education project UrbanLogix, funded by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), tackled the rising pressure that growing e-commerce and delivery fleets place on cities. As urban areas struggled with congestion, emissions and poorly coordinated logistics activity, the project worked to bridge the gap between delivery demand and sustainable mobility goals.

Through collaboration between VEFRESH, Latvijas Pasts, and Acceler8, UrbanLogix strengthened cities’ ability to plan deliveries in a smarter, more sustainable way. The project mapped key logistics challenges, built competence among public and private stakeholders, and promoted innovation in first- and last-mile solutions.

A central ambition of UrbanLogix was to ensure that urban logistics becomes a core element of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), helping cities integrate evidence-based practices, reduce the negative impact of delivery traffic, and create more liveable, efficient urban environments.

Expert interviews

As part of the UrbanLogix project, we spoke with urban mobility, logistics and policy experts to capture practical insights on sustainable urban logistics and last-mile delivery. The interviews explore real-world challenges cities face today, the role of public–private collaboration, and how logistics can be better integrated into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs).

Through these conversations, experts share lessons learned, emerging trends and actionable perspectives that support cities, planners and businesses in developing smarter, cleaner and more resilient urban delivery systems.
