Älskade stad/Beloved City consolidation centre (Stockholm, Sweden)
Area: urban
Date implemented: since 2017
How long from concept to implementation: 2-3 years
Relation between efforts undertaken and benefits achieved: good
What was done and how: City facilitated cooperation between property owner, parcel delivery firm and material recycling company to enable commercial consolidated inner-city parcel delivery and material collection service.
Why it worked to 'fast track' the innovation/measure: It depends on cooperation between companies in different sectors, reducing possible conflicts; it provides tangible benefits for all involved; it was achieved during a reasonably short time frame and has become business-as-usual.
Lessons learnt: Many! Consolidation in this way reduces traffic volumes, emissions, etc.
Tips for replication: Identify win-win solutions; match property companies with space, to companies willing to test
