This webinar will explore solutions such as: ✅ Multifunctional infrastructure for logistics and public use ✅ Time-based space sharing and dynamic zoning ✅ Digital tools enabling efficient urban freight management ✅ Policy frameworks supporting sustainable logistics 📢 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞: 🔹Thessaloniki use case by Vasilis Giannoudis (CERTH) from DISCO Project 🔹Florence use case by Alessandra Barbieri (City of Florence) from UNCHAIN Project 🔹 Micro hub in RATP bus depot by Joy Pasquet from Amazon 🔹 Moderated by Raffaele Vergnani (POLIS) and Marion Cottet (ALICE) This session is an opportunity for city representatives, policy makers, and logistics operators to gain insights from two Horizon Europe-funded projects, DISCO and UNCHAIN, which are advancing data-driven, collaborative, and sustainable urban freight solutions. The event is part of the POLIS network -ALICE strategic collaboration, which promotes public-private dialogue to shape the future of urban logistics. #UrbanLogistics #SustainableCities #SmartMobility #CityLogistics #LogisticsInnovation

👏 Our own Paola Cossu and Paola Astegiano form FIT Consulting srl wrote an interesting article on smart and flexible curbside management. 🔍 The article focuses on the 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐁 innovation, which enables the smart and flexible use of curbside for parking slots, pick-up points, and network management. It will be implemented in the cities of Københavns Kommune, Forum Virium Helsinki, Barcelona City Council, Comune di Padova within the DISCO project. 📘It is published in the latest issue of 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝, the quarterly magazine of the European Parking Association. 👇You can read it here, pages 28-30. https://lnkd.in/eAS6zPVi #HorizonEU, #lastmilelogistics, #zeroemission, #sustainablemobility

📌 How can digital innovation transform urban freight logistics to make cities more liveable and transport more efficient? This was the key question explored during the session "𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗨𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀" at RTR Conference 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, co-moderated by Dr. Yanying Li (ALICE) and Yannick Bousse (CINEA).   The session brought together leading EU-funded projects: SENATOR, UNCHAIN, DISCO, URBANE, DECARBOMILE, and GREEN-LOG, each addressing major challenges in urban logistics, from data-driven decision-making to zero-emission last-mile deliveries.   Key takeaways: ✅ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: SENATOR Project showcased its Smart Network Operator Platform, designed to help city governments and logistics operators optimise urban freight policies through data-driven governance models. ✅ 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: UNCHAIN Project is developing digital tools to predict urban freight flows, supporting smarter and more sustainable logistics planning. ✅ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: DISCO Project is leading a new meta-model for urban freight, enabling synchromodal, collaborative and optimised logistics through European Living Labs. ✅ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: URBANE Project is upscaling multi-actor collaboration and Physical Internet-inspired last-mile delivery solutions to accelerate green logistics. ✅ 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲: DECARBOMILE presented its five-pillar approach to reducing emissions in last-mile delivery. ✅ 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: GREEN-LOG is working on collaborative, digital solutions to enable efficient, emissions-free last-mile logistics.   🔍 A key theme across all discussions was the power of digitalisation, collaboration and interoperability to make urban freight more sustainable. Challenges such as data standardisation, stakeholder engagement, and the role of emerging technologies such as Digital Twins and blockchain in policy making were also addressed.   💡 ALICE is committed to driving innovation in sustainable urban logistics, and we look forward to collaborating with stakeholders to leverage impacts of these solutions on decarbonising urban mobility and enhancing competitiveness of Europe.   🔗 Did you attend the session?

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining the RTR Conference and presenting the DISCO Project, coordinated by FIT Consulting srl. It was a great opportunity to discuss how #digital innovation is reshaping #urbanlogistics, helping to create more livable cities and making transport more efficient. It was a pleasure to share the stage with representatives of leading EU-funded projects on this topic—Rod Franklin, Amalia Ntemou, Mª Elena García Jiménez, Angela Nuñez Gonzalez, and Clarissa Reali. A big thank you also to the moderators, Yannick Bousse and Dr. Yanying Li, for having made the discussion even more stimulating and insightful. #DISCO, #URBANE, #SENATOR, #UNCHAIN,#DECARBOMILE, #GREENLOG
