We plan to survey different places around the outskirts of the city to see how easily people with disabilities (and others) can access potential goods pick-up stations without facing any physical barriers. The Leipzig Logistics Living Lab, run by ULEI, will work together with local residents and other interested parties to design concepts for pick-up stations and a small delivery hub, which will also serve as a place where people can meet.
In partnership with the online store Locally Happy and the bike courier service Fulmo, we’ll test and review the delivery of goods by bicycle and cargo bike. This includes transporting items from retailers to the small hub and then from the hub to customers or pick-up stations. Additionally, we’ll use the Locally Happy platform to test digital ways to encourage people to make eco-friendly choices, guided by the expertise of VIA and SRFG.
