Knowledge Exchange with Visitors from Sweden

In early June, the CRP team were joined by visitors from Stockholm and Gothenburg to share knowledge and learnings from projects on freight and air quality that have been implemented in London.  

The visit was coordinated by C40 Cities and the Greater London Authority, and will support Stockholm in promoting and rolling out opportunities for zero emission freight in the city.  

CRP presented on the Clean Air Logistics for London and Smarter Greener Logistics programmes, and held informative discussions on river, rail and cargo bike trials that have taken place over the past couple of years, with a particular focus on business engagement.  

A short walk to the Pimlico Hub followed, where the group could see these projects in action, to help to understand how a micro logistics hub using underutilised space in central parts of cities can be creatively used for freight and logistics with significant air quality benefits. Thank you to Decarbon Logistics and Delivery Mates for presenting and talking through the project so clearly and helpfully! 

A huge Thank You and Tack to our Swedish visitors and to C40 Cities for coordinating a successful visit, and we look forward to continually sharing knowledge on the public realm and active travel across Europe through our new Horizon Europe-funded Just Streets programme.
