How do we create logistics in the city on people's terms?

CLOSER - styr och ställ_människor i rörelse

More and more people are moving into our cities, which places demands on an efficient and sustainable supply in the form of packages, foodstuffs, building materials and efficient return and waste management. Together with our partners, CLOSER works to accelerate the development of, and the transition to, a sustainable and living city on people's terms.

Together with you who work in the city, region, academia and industry, we want to work on the challenges that exist! How the impact on the people in the city is and will be, but also on the environment both locally and globally.

Urban freight transport in interaction

Cities are in constant motion in order to meet the needs of the inhabitants. Every day people get around the city to work, study, shop or just meet. At the same time, goods and materials are transported into our industries, shops and homes, and waste and returns of goods and materials go out. Construction of properties and infrastructure that generates transport is also underway in the city.

All parts need to come together every day on a limited surface. If the system is not planned and managed effectively, it can mean congestion and delays, high noise levels and air pollution.

Our vision within the focus area of Urban Logistics is to create the conditions for efficient, safe and fossil-free freight transport that contributes to a good working environment and healthy urban environments for all residents. The city's logistics system is dynamic, resilient and contributes to economic growth and an attractive urban environment.

How can long-distance transport become more efficient?

It is important in this regard to utilise the benefits of each individual mode of transport, the correct mode of transport for the correct task. In order to be able to use the most sustainable mode of transport for a route, it is absolutely crucial that we optimise the transfer between different modes of transport - it should be cost-effective, accessible and punctual.
