Adapting new tools of urban freight management based on Gdynia’s dedicated delivery bays example – an analysis of the process
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of a process which ultimately helped Gdynia to designate pilot delivery sites in its downtown area using international experience. A verification was conducted of policy transfer theory and its practical implementation based on an URBACT Freight Tails project. While the choice of the solution was based on critical analysis of existing practical examples, it needed to be adapted to the local conditions which required a strong involvement of project partners and specifically the municipality. The experience shows that if copied directly from other cities or countries, urban freight management measures are not going to work and must be preceded with a careful analysis. Understanding the structure of deliveries was also recognised as an important information tool that can support decision-makers in adapting a solution. Studies like these are adaptable and ensure that the current situation is carefully analysed and the costs are reasonable. They can serve as a point of departure to understanding how urban freight works and how to plan for its improvement
