From analysis to action with PESTEL insights Into Izmir's sustainable urban logistics plan

Abstract

The Izmir Sustainable Urban Logistics Plan (LOPI) addresses the challenges of integrating sustainability into urban logistics amidst rapid urbanization and environmental concerns. It focuses on the significant role of urban freight transportation in city development and the obstacles it faces, including traffic congestion and pollution. Utilizing a participatory model, LOPI engages diverse stakeholders, leveraging the PESTEL analysis to evaluate and refine project proposals across seven key areas. This approach fosters collaborative planning and ensures that the logistics framework aligns with social, economic, and environmental objectives. The study illustrates the importance of stakeholder involvement in developing sustainable urban logistics plans, offering insights for cities globally to enhance logistics sustainability through inclusive, strategic planning. © 2024, IGI Global.
