  This evaluation builds on a case study in Oslo, Norway, and provides important knowledge to authorities on how to facilitate use of cargo bikes in the Norwegian urban freight market. The findings indicate that providing a suitable location in the city center for urban logistics activities, in this case a micro depot, required substantial effort from local authorities. The chapter concludes that to attract other actors to initiate commercial use of cargo bikes public authorities should make this process easier to complete, either by (1) defining space in land-use plans for logistics activities, (2) setting aside existing locations for this usage, or (3) by developing a centrally located multi-user terminal. Overall, the Oslo case shows that a public-private partnership was fruitful in initiating testing of new sustainable ways of performing goods delivery in Oslo.

  Introduction Common practices in current urban logistics planning in Scandinavia and the UK, and the degree to which SUTP (Sustainable Urban Transport Plan), SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans) and SULP (Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans) guidelines are used, are examined in this paper. Methods A systematic literature review identifies relevant studies based on predefined inclusion criteria: mobility, freight, urban, plan. Results It is found that urban freight plans are used more frequently in the UK than in the Scandinavian countries. SULPs (freight strategies, action plans or parts of a mobility plan) follow a structure that identifies the current situation and defines the strategic context, vision, targets and objectives using selected policy measures, measures that are dependent on geographical scope. Conclusions Urban freight plans are designed with a sustainability perspective to define visions and policy measures for urban freight. SUTP, SUMP and SULP methodologies are used in existing Scandinavian and UK urban freight plans, especially when a collaborative planning approach is being practiced. The emphasis on urban freight is challenged by the regional perspective. Integrating urban freight in general planning procedures or transport planning is important. Government guidance and sustainable strategies can provide a planning methodology and, therefore, based on national guidelines further European structural standardisation could be beneficial. Identification of freight plans is crucial if the contributions they make are to be determined.
