“…Currently, many developing countries in the world often experience environmental degradation during the process of urbanization [ 2 ]. According to population projections, by 2030, approximately 68 % of the global population can reside in urban areas [ 3 ]. The growth of urbanization is attributed to factors such as rural to urban migration, natural population growth, and the concentration of economic and social activities in developed urban areas.…”

“…However, to decrease the disturbances of construction transport, there is a need to see the interrelationships between construction logistics activities and urban planning [12], including environmental regulatory frameworks [13]. However, incorporating logistics into urban planning requires an increased understanding of the interaction between transport flows and urban land use, and the integration of different stakeholders into the planning [14]. Presently, there is a lack of planning tools providing an overview of the total transport demand (including both regular freight transport and construction transport) and the spatial impact of construction transport from a city perspective, as well as a lack of processes supporting the collaborative coordination of construction transport in urban planning.…”

The intensity of urban development is presently high, creating a construction boom. The number of transports per project is a major consideration in urban goods transport and emissions from a project. Presently, the stakeholders take part in a “blame game” in assigning fault for the emissions from construction transport and the disturbances to society in the vicinity of construction sites. Incorporation of logistics into urban planning requires an increased understanding of the interaction between construction transport flows and urban land use, and the inclusion of different stakeholders. The purpose of the study is to support collaborative planning of construction transport in urban planning, and specifically to explore how a planning tool based on interactive visualization could be designed. An action research process has generated two prototypes of an interactive visualization tool for collaborative planning of construction transport. The prototype facilitates a “shared deliberation space” by identifying alternatives and assessing predicted consequences, which supports a collaborative urban planning process. Based on the research conducted, we claim that the responsibility of construction transport planning should be taken by the municipality, i.e., the urban planning and traffic planning functions.

“…The dramatic growth in freight demand in recent years has made freight deliveries, especially in urban centers, more inefficient (Giuliano et al 2018;Sanchez-Diaz and Browne 2018). Truck drivers have found it increasingly difficult to make last-minute deliveries because of the lack of space to drop off goods at businesses or residences.…”

Limited freight loading space provision in city centers increases illegal loading behaviors such as double parking or parking in bicycle lanes or sidewalks. Such traffic violations have caused concerns among urban planners, engineers, and the public about localized congestion and safety impacts on delivery workers and other road users. Despite the importance of these issues, research on the planning processes that determine freight loading provision is very limited. Our study addresses this gap by reviewing the zoning code requirements for loading zones in the 20 largest US and the four largest North Carolina cities and interviewing professionals about loading zone policies and practices. We discovered significant variations in offstreet loading requirements across large cities; in some of them, such as Los Angeles and Houston, the requirements are so low that most small buildings in city centers are exempt from any required loading space provision. While onstreet loading spaces are currently an important supplement to offstreet ones, interviews with transport planners revealed that the provision of onstreet loading spaces is often ad hoc and based on requests by local businesses. The findings can help transportation planners and engineers better understand how the accommodation of urban freight delivery demand links to urban planning zoning requirements for offstreet loading zones and practices around onstreet loading space provision. The empirical results suggest a localized spatial mismatch between freight loading demand and overall loading supply given the current zoning systems. Such mismatch, which contributes to congestion delays for freight and people as well as road safety impacts, calls for special attention from policymakers by revising offstreet loading requirements in zoning codes and considering proactive processes to ensure adequate onstreet loading zones in high-demand areas.
