Abstract
Urban consolidation centres can reduce the negative impact of last-mile delivery in cities. However, from the different case studies documented, it is clear that their economic sustainability is difficult to achieve. The recent change in the policy of Barcelona municipality to allow logistics activities in underground car parks opens up the possibility of using these spaces as urban consolidation centres (UCCs) or transhipment zones. The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of these new logistics spaces is beneficial for logistics companies. This analysis has been done considering data from the city of Barcelona.
