Consumers have come to expect responsive logistics systems, able to deliver products quickly, at
low or zero cost. These expectations and the increasing shift to on-demand logistics are putting a
strain on last-mile delivery systems, with challenges to accommodate consumer demands and
remain competitive, while striving to become more sustainable. These challenges negatively impact
stakeholders in the whole value chain. Small and large-scale consumer platforms struggle with
pledging swift delivery times, albeit with little market economic incentives for the creation of
sustainable systems, while cities are also starting to feel the strain.

This workshop will delve into the experiences of 3 projects (LEAD, ULaaDS and SENATOR) and of the
Thessaloniki Smart Mobility Living Lab, which are developing specific tools to address the challenges
affecting on-demand city logistics, through collaborative activities in Living Labs. It will provide
participants with practical examples of how Living Labs can enable and accelerate innovation for
on-demand city logistics. What are the current trends and challenges city logistics are facing? Which
solutions are each of these projects developing to address these challenges? Why are co-creation
approaches so appealing to address challenges brought about by on-demand city logistics? These
and other questions will be answered.
