Urban Freight: What about construction logistics?

Abstract

This paper aims to improve the knowledge and understanding of urban freight distribution related to the
 construction sector. The contribution highlights the specificities of the chain which supplies construction sites in
 urban areas as compared to other, well studied, supply chains such as retail, HoReCa (hotels-restaurants-cafes)
 and home deliveries. The paper also tries to identify the barriers against and the triggers towards a more sustainable
 urban freight transport for the construction sector. In conclusion, experiences from the ongoing CIVITAS Horizon
 2020 project “SUCCESS”, aiming at identifying the costs and benefits associated with the introduction of a number
 of optimization strategies, including but not limited to Construction Consolidation Centres, are used to identify
 potential ways to make urban construction logistics more sustainable.
