Rome

Rome is the capital city of Italy, of the homonymous metropolitan city, and of the Lazio region. With 2,9 million residents, it is also the country’s largest and most populated municipality and the fourth most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The municipality of Rome is composed of 15 boroughs, each of them with more than 100 thousand inhabitants, while its metropolitan area is composed of 120 municipalities, and counts 4,4 million of inhabitants, a greater number compared to other major European metropolitan areas. Due to the nature of the city, being it the most populated in Italy and visited each year by million tourists, the logistic organisation has an enormous impact on the liveability of the urban environment.

Rome is a Satellite city within ULaaDS.

In 2019, the Municipality of Rome adopted the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), which includes the implementation of the SULP. Currently, the City Administration is addressing specific issues concerning urban logistics, in order to follow up on the SUMP, through the so-called ‘Living Lab’ approach, such as:

• experimentation of mini hubs for loading/unloading goods
• deployment of parcel lockers, at the main interchange car parks and metro stops
• other living labs could be proposed, such as cargo-bikes diffusion and technological parking spaces for freight vehicles
