“…However, they do entail an impact upon consumer habits and behavior. A number of authors examine people's potential acceptance of pickup lockers and the factors that may increase it [15,44,63,[77][78][79][80]. Their studies conclude that security, location, and traceability are key factors when planning a network of pickup points.…”

E-commerce-related last-mile logistics have a great impact on cities. Recent years have seen sustained growth in e-commerce in most developed countries, a trend that has only been reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The perceived impact of this phenomenon varies depending upon the perspective of the players involved: individual members of the public, companies, or the public administrations. Tackling the issue from these perspectives, the goal of this article is to explore the kinds of impact this phenomenon has and will have. We use as the basis for their classification the so-called triple bottom line (TBL) of sustainability, encompassing people, planet, and profit; we complement this with the impact classification used by the European Science Foundation’s impact assessment working group. After performing a systematic review of the literature following PRISMA guidelines, our results show that, albeit to different degrees, the four impact dimensions analyzed (economic, social, environmental, and technological) have only received incipient coverage in the existing literature. Given its ever-growing importance, we believe that greater attention needs to be paid to this phenomenon, especially with regard to those aspects having the greatest impact upon urban systems and the different stakeholders involved. Only in this way can the public policies needed to mitigate these externalities be properly implemented.

“…This indicator estimates the accessibility considering the number of facilities that can be reached within a threshold distance from households. Since we intended to analyze the accessibility by active transportation modes, within walkable and cyclable distances, we have considered a previous result for Belo Horizonte regarding the perception of citizens concerning maximum distances for trips to parcel lockers as a reference [41]. We have considered an average speed of 5 km/h for pedestrians [42] and 12.8 km/h for bicycles when cycling uphill at gradient 5.4% [43], since Belo Horizonte is a city built in mountainous terrain.…”

Access to food systems is essential to sustain urban life. In this paper, we discuss the differences concerning accessibility levels to food systems among potential consumers in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The goal was to characterize spatial mismatches regarding food opportunities and identify suitable areas for sustainable food mile solutions, such as non-motorized home delivery and purchase trips. For this, we have spatially related: (i) the population concentration; (ii) the income of households; and (iii) accessibility measures considering both the spatial structure of food retailers and the distance between households and stores, considering the food mile. We have then used spatial statistics and spatial analysis methods to determine the spatial pattern of variables and the cumulative opportunity measure for households. There is great spatial differentiation regarding the accessibility levels of food retailers and the results can be considered to support the development of policy and land use regulation that can stimulate non-motorized and collaborative delivery as an effective last-mile solution.

“…The urban freight policies presented in Block 5 were selected from the following literature: implementation of an urban mobility plan [12], loading/unloading areas [41,42], mini-hubs in urban areas [43][44][45][46], electrical vehicles [47][48][49][50], cargo bikes [51][52][53][54], truck lanes [55], off-peak deliveries [56][57][58], freight delivery restriction [59,60], congestion charge [61], pick-up points or lockers [62,63], and collaborative delivery [36,64].…”

The aim of this paper is to analyze the perceptions of the transport service providers on the barriers in urban freight transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles, identifying which urban freight transport policies can improve this activity in Brazil. Principal component analysis allowed us to identify which are barriers in urban cargo transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles. In addition, we evaluated freight policies that can improve the activity using probabilistic preference. We obtained the database from a web-based survey of transport service providers in Brazil. The results indicate that the urban freight vehicle restriction is related to congestion and availability of loading and unloading areas. The freight vehicle restriction is a result of the lack of information and data. The theft of cargo significantly impacts urban freight transport. Transport service provider company perceptions indicate an urban mobility plan as the most-required freight policy to improve freight mobility. To reduce the barriers to urban freight planning, an understanding of the problem involving the stakeholders is needed. To do so, the challenge is to change the culture in the transportation planning process by integrating various actors to create an urban logistics plan that generates opportunities for the city.
