“…Problematization to new technologies etc. (Ekeskär, 2016;Meneylyuk et al, 2020;Ramilo & Embi, 2014), the transport efficiency within construction is low. Transport efficiency can be seen as transporting maximum amount of materials with as few resources (time, fuel, labor, vehicle, energy, and effort) as possible and by generating minimum resource waste (Sullivan et al, 2010).…”

“…Previous research has primarily focused on the effects of CLS's in construction from either a supply chain management (SCM) perspective (cf. Ekeskär, 2016, a construction site perspective (cf. Lindén andJosephson, 2013, Spillane andOyedele, 2017), or from a city logistics perspective (cf.…”

With the current urbanization trend, there is an increased need for city development, i.e. to build apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and infrastructure in cities and urban areas to meet the rising demands. At the same time, land is increasingly seen as a finite resource. This has led to the regeneration of decommissioned industrial-use land for development purposes. This means that multiple individual construction projects are being built in the same or nearby areas during the same time-period. However, the end products of construction projects are produced at their place of consumption, which means that large quantities of materials and resources need to be delivered to, and removed from, each construction site. This leads to new transport flows being created in connection to city development. These transport flows need to be coordinated to ensure efficient construction productivity and reduce the transports' environmental and social impact on the urban transport system. At the same time, it is important to ensure that construction sites can be managed from a logistics perspective without impairing efficiency due to the challenges of building in urban environments. Foreword Wow. This is it. I have finished my PhD journey! This would not have been possible without the support of the people around me. The following few humble lines are dedicated to the people who have been there through thick and thin during these five years. First and foremost, I want to thank my amazing supervisors, Anna Fredriksson and Martin Rudberg. Working with the two of you is a pleasure, and I have learned so much from the two of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Secondly, I want to thank my friends and colleagues in the construction logistics group, past and present; Andreas Ekeskär, Henric Jonsson, Micael Thunberg, Yashar Gholami, Petter Haglund, Farah Naz, and Ahmet Sezer. I cannot thank you enough for all the laughter, and occasional serious discussions we have had through the years. Speaking of occasionally having serious conversations; thank you Ellen Grumert and Joakim Ekström! Thirdly, I want to thank all my colleagues at the division of Communications and Transport Systems, this place would not be the same without you. A special thank you to Viveka Nilson and Sophie Lindesvik, your help with, well, everything is invaluable. Thank you for keeping track of me and my travels when I don't seem to manage that myself. Fourth, a massive thank you to Martin Svanberg for reading, commenting, and discussing my dissertation during the final seminar. The end result is so much better thanks to you! Fifth, a few very special friends; Mats and Johan, thank you for worrying, celebrating, and providing a (mostly) healthy measure of banter, it helps! Mattias, thank you for always being there to share in mountainbike geekiness to distract my, at times, preoccupied mind. Calle and Ida (and Oscar of course!), it's been a weird year and I haven't seen you as much as I would have liked, but it means the world to me that you are in my ...

“…In the construction industry, these solutions are still a rather rare phenomenon (cf. Langley, 2016;Ekeskär, 2016), especially when proposed as joint solution for multiple construction stakeholders and projects. The rarity of these solutions indicates that there is a research gap in how these construction logistics solutions affect material flows and costs, as well as how they are perceived by different stakeholders.…”

More and more people are living in, or moving to, urban areas than ever before. This attraction to urban areas means that new houses and workplaces are needed. Building new houses or renovating older housing stock is a natural way for a city to evolve. However, the end products of construction projects are produced at their place of consumption. This means that a multitude of materials and resources need to be delivered to, and removed from, each construction site. This leads to new transport flows being created in urban areas. In urban areas, these transports are subjected to space limitations, environmental demands, accessibility demands and noise restrictions. This has led to a situation where material deliveries to construction sites needs to be coordinated and managed in ways that reduce their impact on the urban transport system and at the same time ensuring efficient construction projects. vi Slutligen visar forskningen på att en bygglogistiklösning måste introduceras med en uppsättning bestämmelser och en styrstrategi från den som initierar lösningen. Dessa bestämmelser och styrmedel måste vara tydliga och kommuniceras till berörda aktörer. För att minska motsättningar mot lösningen måste flexibilitet och intressentengagemang vara ledord. Om de direkt berörda aktörerna konsulteras om hur lösningen ska fungera ökar chansen att de kommer att acceptera lösningen. vii Foreword This journey that I am on, chasing that illusive PhD, is something that I have wanted to embark on for such a long time. Being here now, halfway through the PhD process, is something that would not have been possible without the support of the people around me. These few humble lines are dedicated to those persons. First and foremost, I want to thank my amazing superhero supervisor team, Martin Rudberg and Anna Fredriksson. Working with the two of you is a pleasure, I could not have asked for better people to guide me through this journey. I honestly do not think that this thesis would have turned out as well as it did without your scrutineering and support. Secondly, I want to give my special thanks to my colleagues in the construction logistics group, past and present, Andreas Ekeskär, Henric Jonsson, and Micael Thunberg. You are more than just colleagues to me, you are my dear friends. I cannot thank you enough for all the laughter, and occasional serious discussions we have had through the years. Thank you also for taking the time to read and comment on this thesis. Thirdly, I want to thank all my colleagues at the division of Communications and Transport Systems, this place would not be the same without you. A special thank you to Viveka Nilsson, your help with, well, everything is invaluable. I promise to (try to) become better at handing in my travel orders on time. J Finally, my thanks (and love) go out to my friends and family. I know that you may not always understand why I spend most of my time working or taking photos of cranes and construction sites, but you know that it is important to me and you always back me up in my sh...
