“…Previous research has demonstrated the paucity of stakeholder participation in the urban planning process, while revealing how collaborative logistics development allows for the integration of all actors toward sustainability-oriented public policy formulation based on citizen participation. Thus, the present study supports previously published research on how stakeholders directly impact urban planning for urban freight transport, especially in the Latin American region [11,15,21]. A key context for the engagement of urban freight actors is stakeholder perception.…”

“…Since the start of the 2010s, the urban logistics literature has witnessed a marked increase in the number of studies conducted and the diversity of topics discussed [16][17][18][19]. There is a current trend for published research related to sustainability, public policies, stakeholder involvement, last-mile optimisation, and e-commerce in urban freight logistics [20][21][22]. However, while urban logistics has received increased attention, the bulk of the research and innovation has been conducted in developed countries where the focus is on sustainability and optimisation.…”

“…First, urban logistics are highly dynamic due to the interaction between multiple agents. Second, there is a lack of understanding of urban logistics problems and a lack of methods with which to address them [21]; this is particularly true in mid-sized cities, where initiatives are oriented towards vehicle restriction and optimising public space without taking into account freight operations.…”

“…Such phenomena can prompt behavioural changes that, if they persist, significantly alter mobility in cities. In this context, and given the importance of the city as a field of study, urban logistics research presents a unique opportunity to re-imagine urban transport systems towards sustainable mobility transitions [21]. This study seeks to influence public policy formulation by emphasising sustainability based on urban parameters and previous studies on Latin American cities.…”

The development of Latin American cities has been characterised by disorderly expansion. This urbanisation looks set to continue, and, by 2050, there will be a considerable demand for resources, spaces, and food to survive in emerging societies. All this requires an increase in urban freight logistics operations. Although several stakeholders are involved, citizens tend to be overlooked when planners and decision makers look to solve the problems generated by freight operations. This research focuses on logistics activities and stakeholder perceptions in areas of high vehicular flow and commercial establishment density in the mid-sized Colombian city of Popayán. Drawing on the methods proposed in previous studies conducted in Latin American cities, this paper’s scientific value lies in its comprehensive approach, integration of quantitative and qualitative data, and application of PLS-SEM analysis. Its contribution to sustainable urban planning is evident through insights into optimising urban logistics, enhancing stakeholder engagement, promoting sustainable transport, and informing policy formulation. These aspects make the paper a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and urban planners seeking to create more sustainable and efficient urban logistics systems. The results show a correlation between commercial establishments’ locations and urban logistics operations. Overall, the research creates an ample scope for studying stakeholder perceptions and urban logistics in other mid-sized Latin American cities.
