City Freight is a European research project on inter- and intra-urban freight distribution networks. It will carry out an analysis of selected freight transport systems already functioning in Europe and evaluate their socio-economic and environmental impacts in an urban context, with a common assessment methodology. City Freight will focus on innovative and promising logistic schemes in the seven countries represented in the project consortium.

The objective is to provide guidance to interested stakeholders (government, regional, or local authorities, network operators, shippers and consignees) on the advantages and drawbacks of some recent innovations in the field of inter- and intra-urban freight distribution systems.

City Freight is coordinated by Stratec, Belgium and participates to the LUTR (Landuse and transportation research) cluster, which links several projects in the area of sustainable urban mobility, including land use, transportation, and the environment.
