About the project
The objective of the CITYLAB project was to develop knowledge and solutions that result in the roll-out, scaling up and further uptake of cost-effective strategies, measures and tools for zero-emission city logistics.
In a set of seven Living Laboratories (“Living Labs”), promising logistics concepts were implemented, tested and evaluated, and the potential for further roll-out and upscaling of the solutions investigated and explained.
The Living Labs brought together citizens, governments, industry and research partners to co-design and co-create new policies, regulations and actions.
The participating cities were Rotterdam/Amsterdam (the Netherlands); Brussels (Belgium); London (United Kingdom); Oslo (Norway); Paris (France); Rome (Italy); and Southampton (UK).
CITYLAB focused on four areas requiring intervention: highly fragmented last-mile deliveries in city centres; inefficient deliveries to regular recipients of large deliveries (e.g. businesses) and public administrations; urban waste, return trips and recycling; and logistics sprawl.
A series of measures encompassing these fields were tested, evaluated and rolled out in the seven Living Labs.
