This paper aims at contributing to the international debate on innovations in urban freight transport (UFT) by illustrating and discussing some new trends that can have the potential to revolutionize the way goods are distributed in our cities and minimize the impact UFT has on sustainability. Under this respect, stakeholder engagement becomes fundamental to foster innovation and policy adoption thus guaranteeing their spreading. A deep understanding of the behavioural issues linked to stakeholder decision-making is fundamental to define and implement effective policies, given the variety of heterogeneous UFT stakeholders often characterized by conflicting interests.

This paper aims at contributing to the international debate on innovations in urban freight transport (UFT) by illustrating and discussing some new trends that can have the potential to revolutionize the way goods are distributed in our cities and minimize the impact UFT has on sustainability. Under this respect, stakeholder engagement becomes fundamental to foster innovation and policy adoption thus guaranteeing their spreading. A deep understanding of the behavioural issues linked to stakeholder decision-making is fundamental to define and implement effective policies, given the variety of heterogeneous UFT stakeholders often characterized by conflicting interests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
