Challenge / Goal

Antwerp’s port is the second largest in Europe. The city has elaborated and adopted a Climate Plan, an Integrated Urban Development Concept, and a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan at the regional level. Mobility planning takes place both at the municipal level and the regional level, with the city council being seen as the main decision-maker in terms of mobility issues concerning the city of Antwerp.

For the design and implementation of the SULP, Antwerp identified a few challenges in implementing their SULP:

  • The SULP needs to maintain political support during and after its development. 
  • Private stakeholder support, especially from the logistics sector, could be a second barrier. The SULP should take into account the economic reality and the variety of stakeholders involved.
  • The third barrier is a scarcity in urban logistics data. This is an issue many cities face. It takes time and creative solutions to overcome and it means that for the case of Antwerp, the SULP will be based on available data.

Solution

  • Good internally aligned coordination between teams
  • Thinking of SULP steps well in advance
  • Finding the right balance in cooperation with private sectors (number of events, inputs asked)
  • Having “neutral” external partner to help the process
