Hållbara Hemtransporter : Fallstudie för leveranstransporter i täta bostadsområden ur ett socialt hållbarhetsperspektiv.

Sammanfattning: During the last few years, the demand for deliveries in residential areas have increased dramatically due to an increase in online shopping and changed lifestyles where reduced car use among other things have led to people rely on home deliveries to a wider extent. The built environment thus faces a new set of requirements in order to accommodate these deliveries. At the same time, current sustainability-goals dictate that less emphasis is put on the car in the modern city, which is in part done by reducing space for cars in general, emphasizing a need for safe streets and reduced traffic. In order for these aspects to work together, the street and public space must be designed in such a way that deliveries can still reach their destination without inhibiting the social values of the street and public space. This study aims to explore the tools possessed by planners, as well as the designs available to accommodate these competing needs. In order to analyze the accessibility and how modern residential areas accommodate these needs, the study is applied to a physical context where availability of deliveries and social sustainability is tested.
