In recent years, many cities throughout the world are facing the impact of last-mile logistics and the resulting rise in urban traffic and pollution. Effects on the environment have been curbed by these dynamics. Urban traffic has a considerable impact in terms of noise emissions, road safety and air pollution: hence, both public and private parties should undertake innovative solutions for reducing the negative effects of last-mile logistics and improving their operational effectiveness. This study aims to provide a systematic literature review of studies having as their main topic environmentally sustainable last-mile logistics with the perspective of economic studies. The review of the literature reveals that the majority of recent studies have been based on engineering and urban planning approaches. Costs and benefits of last-mile logistics are approached with a public economics focus, gathering details from the different papers, starting with the business studies and then exploring the technology-oriented ones. This study aims to detect the different topics and policies discussed in the literature, and it suggests how to incorporate them in creating new measures and policies for last-mile logistics in the urban area, or for revamping current ones.

“…According to researchers, when choosing a route, the passengers subconsciously and implicitly consider the post-trip energy losses. In study [10], the energy expenditures were believed to be the measure in selecting a buyer's path to the shopping store and shopping store area, when the energy consumption was critical since only the muscle power was used to move.…”

Current urban development should not be possible without public transportation. Adequate mass transportation can only be ensured by disclosing a stable commuter’s travel distribution along routes. Due to this, urban transportation improvement via applying the sustainable transport principles such as free access and path choice and minimizing the use of various types of energy is a major challenge. In this case, special attention is paid to working trips, which constitute the largest burden on urban transport and have dense directions in a short time. As with any actions, public journeys are closely taken to human energy expenditure, which is further increased when passengers then have to perform their main workplace tasks. Thus, a public transport trip can be seen as the start of a working day. Consequently, mass transport systems should therefore be presented in a way that minimizes energy consumption by passengers. This can be found by establishing an interrelation between travel energy consumption and travel choice and, this way, explaining the attractiveness of stable route options. The attractiveness obtained should enable the travel choice probabilities to be calculated and the urban mass transit system to be better organized in satisfying the needs of users.

“…The insight of the section is that, since consumers and distributors are likely to have different preferences towards how the delivery should be performed, and are subject to different types of cost, it is fundamental to integrate their perspectives to pursue overall efficiency, and consequently sustainability, of delivery processes. Galkin et al (2022) find that end-consumers incur monetary and non-monetary costs for e-commerce and propose a generalised distribution utility index that balances the losses of customers against profits created for the distribution system.…”

In recent years, many cities throughout the world are facing the impact of last-mile logistics and the resulting rise in urban traffic and pollution: effects on the environment have been curbed by these dynamics. Urban traffic has a considerable impact in terms of noise emissions, road safety and air pollution: hence, both public and private parties shall undertake innovative solutions for reducing the negative effects of last-mile logistics and improving their operational effectiveness. This study aims to provide a systematic literature review on environmentally sustainable last-mile logistics. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) exploring and analysing the existing literature on last-mile logistics, with a focus on various types of sustainable measures implemented by companies, governments (mainly local) and supra-national institutions; (2) clustering existing studies into five categories (i.e., agents’ preference and choices, shared logistics, stakeholders, studies on vehicles, and policy and decisions) clarifying the implications of the public economics analysis; (3) identifying the gaps and limitations of the existing literature and proposing potential issues for future research insights. The review of the literature reveals that the majority of recent studies have been based on engineering and urban planning approaches. Costs and benefits of last-mile logistics are researched with a public economics focus, gathering details from the different papers, starting from the business studies to the technology-oriented ones. This study aims at detecting the different topics and policies discussed in the literature and suggests how to incorporate them in creating new measures and policies or revamping current ones. Although the initial corpus was 583, only 108 papers were ultimately chosen for the review, since public economics studies were not thoroughly explored: following the results of this work, the topic has significant scope for further study.
