POTUS

As the 15mC concept includes the relocation of basic services to urban neighbourhoods this will include changes in freight traffic. But how and where freight traffic will rise, is currently largely unknown, which hinders potential improvements in lowering its negative impacts. To address this, POTUS involves relevant stakeholders to address data gaps, standardise survey methods and collect and model urban freight data. The learnings are transferred into new models, planning recommendations and an urban freight survey handbook. This joint approach allows for a transferability of urban freight tools and knowledge from small-sized cities to metropolitan European regions, acting as a basis for evidence-based planning of holistic 15-minute neighbourhoods.
