SULPITER TRAININGS
During the lifetime of the project SULPiTER created much material for training purposes, upon the inputs given by the Think Thank platform, the Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) and partners of the projects. The topics offered in the trainings respond to specific needs of the partnership as the project progresses and partners developed their understanding of freight phenomena in the FUA and their own SULPs, and consequently identified the areas where they need capacity building. Topics of interested are collected during project meetings, surveys, or specific requests.
A number of training sessions was organised. Topics have included:
· Introduction to the concept of SULPs and SUMPs, with case studies;
· Methodologies for stakeholder engagement management and experiences on Freight Quality Partnerships (FQP);
· “Cargo Bikes in our cities” variety of cycle technologies and business models, case studies in Europe and in China, use of regulations to promote cargo bikes, light electric vehicles, how to include cargo bike logistics in SULPs.
· “On-demand instant deliveries and impacts on urban planning” demand analysis, survey results, impacts on the job market and employment conditions, impacts on city environment and urban planning.
