“…City logistics measures can be summarized on: regulation of the supply, demand management, infrastructural interventions, ICT and ITS applications, Use of eco-friendly and innovative vehicles, interventions for public-private collaboration and reverse logistics [38,39]. The Region has carried out an overall technical and administrative way for City Logistics measures by definition and implementation of the planning, programming and implementation processes, and by public engagement [40,41].…”

The traffic around the schools is one of the worst events for sustainability. The effects are heavy for pollution, for safety deriving from multiplied walk-car cross, for autonomy reduced for student. This paper discusses on Green and Safety School program that realizes Limited Traffic Zones (LTZ) around the schools. Calabria Region has made political and technical decisions oriented towards sustainable development, according to international, European and national targets: by Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the Region has implemented several ways for realization of the planned measures relative to the urban centres defined by Action 2 Urban areas; by School Plan and program the Region has invested to reduce the vulnerability of school building. The aim of Green and Safety School program is offering a new and never developed field for social, economic and environmental sustainability in urban areas and to propose a strategy for traffic control near schools from basic considerations regarding a problem common of all cities around the world. This program derives from the results obtained with two different previously implemented programs: one relative to the rebuild of school who reduce risk (Scuola Sicura) and another one to the City logistics (leaving from RTP). From an advanced synthesis of these 2 programs born the very new use of LTZ. Green and Safety School is oriented to guarantee green areas and to reduce risk outside school. Even if the program leaves before COVID-19, it assumes significant importance to guarantee social distancing.

This research concerns the topic of Land Use and Transport Interaction (LUTI) models. In particular, the patterns between residential households’ location and mobility choices are analyzed and simulated. The attributes that influence household residential location choices belong to four categories: socioeconomic and mobility attributes of households and/or of their components; land use; real-estate market; transport system. The paper presents the results of a pilot study on households’ location and mobility patterns in the metropolitan area of Reggio Calabria (Southern Italy). The pilot study is divided into two stages. In the first stage, a survey allowed to collect information and identify existing patterns about residential and mobility choices of a sample of households. In the second stage, a residential location model is proposed and some preliminary calibrations are presented in a prototypal way. The pilot study could be extended and improved in terms of spatial extension and sample dimension in order to allow a complete specification-calibration-validation process of the model. The model development can support the land use-transport planning process in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria.

“…Cities need to make more efforts to turn past trends around and contribute to achieving the 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions called for by the White Paper on transport [4] In the components of the transport, the urban freight transport has played an important role in the field of sustainability in recent years. It is a main part of the supply chain; provides an essential service for both commercial activities and final consumers, but it has negative externalities on sustainability development in environmental terms, as well as on economic and social terms [5][6][7].…”

The sustainable development is a main goal of Calabria Region that has promoted a lot of activities to contrast climate change in line with international, European and national targets. In the field of city logistics, the Region can operate only through moral and financial support; a technical and administrative process has been developed including the definition of planning, programming and implementation processes on a regional scale. The realization of city logistics in the Calabria urban centers was planned starting from the Regional Transport Plan (RTP) in 2016, programmed through the Implementation Program in 2017, implemented by a first Call published in the 2018 and a second Call in 2019. The city logistics process has been supported by a structured public engagement through training activities according to the National Coordination Center for Public Engagement (NCCPE) and the Evaluation Program and United States National Security Exercise (HSEEP), adequately specified. Calabria Region policy is oriented to achieve a process of participation and sharing of choices raising the levels of knowledge on the urban freight transport and the sustainability development of cities. The objective is to create an urban logistics with zero CO2 emissions by 2030 according to sustainability targets set at international, European, national level.
