The final results of this EU funded project on freight management in urban areas (SUGAR) were analysed on the occasion of the 7th SUGAR Consortium Meeting held on 22-23 September in Palma de Mallorca.
Organised by the Municipality of Palma, representatives from Emilia Romagna, Paris, London and Rome presented - within a good-practice roundtable - their best practices and debated upon their experience in the field of sustainable urban freight management and logistics.
Participants also had the chance to visit the historical center of Palma de Mallorca and the waste sewerage treatment system that represents a recognised sustainable model for waste treatment around Europe.
At the end of the Project in December 2011, a Final Conference will be organised in Bologna.

Sustainable Urban Goods logistics Achieved by Regional and local policies - SUGAR funded under INTERRREG IVC focuses on the problem of inefficient and ineffective management of urban freight distribution, a critical component of the overall urban transport system and a primary source of vehicle pollutant emissions.
The Central European Iinitiative is the project partner in charge of communication and dissemination of the results at the national level.
