TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple-case study of urban freight transport and current planning practices in cities around the Baltic Sea is presented, which shows that freight transport is increasingly important for regional competitiveness while freight traffic is a growing threat for urban sustainability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine cities that differ in context in order to demonstrate that urban freight transport planning can be improved by involving a wider range of stakeholders, and develop a framework to facilitate meaningful interaction between the various urban freight actors and stakeholders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a definition of sustainable urban freight transport (SUFT) based on existing theories, and develop an indicator set that describes SUFT, making a categorisation of actions possible which enables the actors to select effective strategies towards SUFT.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the growing importance of urban freight research given the increasing urban population trends and the need for public and private sectors to work together -one way to achieve this has been through freight partnerships.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the local authority perspective of sustainable urban freight transport and the aim is to contribute to the understanding of how freight transport affects the urban environment and how awareness and knowledge within local authority effects the urban freight transportation situation.
