A city net following a co-ordinated approach to develop feasible and sustainable city logistics solutions (CITY PORTS)
Date du début: 30 juin 2001, Date de fin: 30 juil. 2005 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Traffic problems are spreading and in growth: Freight transport and distribution are strongly influencing and increasing congestion, pollution and noise within the cities, thus reducing the quality of life; the phenomenon is widely diffused and -generally speaking - quite common in urban areas all along the CADSES space. Expecially on the very short distances, the competition between transport modes, models and technologies are distorted, as transport users and operators face with prices that do not reflect the full social and environmental cost of transport. Therefore, to come to city logistics providing the best economical, social and environmental performances, public administrations have to define and follow adequate processes for problem investigation and solution design and implementation. This policy processes shall consider simultaneously several topics, with regard to supply chain management, urban zoning, traffic management, transit points, low emission vehicles. Achievements: The project was aimed at urban traffic reduction through a better and more rational use of freight transport networks (efficient distribution routes, higher level of saturation of vehicles, fleet management optimisation). Traffic congestion and environmental pollution were reduced by the planning systems, interventions on access policy and by decreasing the number of transport vehicles or the adoption of low impact vehicles and transport vehicles using alternative fuels. The following cities were involved in the CITY PORTS project as pilot contexts for local, but co-ordinated actions: - The cities of Brescia, Parma, Vicenza and Vienna (featuring two pilot actions with distinct concepts): The cities of this group had already defined the focus of their proposed implementations at the beginning of the projects (from previously acquired know-how); they followed slightly different approaches in terms of analysis of demand and supply, nevertheless they contributed - in parallel - to the definition of the CITY PORTS common methodology and they provided experimental information and a sort of “anticipated feedback” to the rest of the project partners; - The cities of Graz, Kavala, Taranto and Udine, which developed their local activities making use of the methodology and the tools as elaborated within the CITY PORTS project. Besides the cities mentioned here which were formally involved in the project, many other cities in the Emilia-Romagna region adopted the CITY PORTS approach and methodology in the framework of a regional policy (funding) initiative which constituted a type of parallel follow-up effect of this CADSES project.
