| Abstract: | There is an urgent need to decarbonise urban freight systems, which has fueled growing interest in sustainable models for last-mile delivery. This trend is especially pronounced in rapidly urbanising cities that face infrastructural, regulatory, and resource constraints. Concepts such as the 15-minute city, micro-consolidation centres (MCCs), and shared mobility platforms have each contributed to advancing urban sustainability. However, few frameworks integrate all these innovations into a single, unified logistics model that can adapt to diverse urban contexts. This paper presents the Green Urban Logistics Corridor (GULC) model - a modular, scalable framework centred on five core elements: walkable urban form, micro-consolidation infrastructure, low-emission last-mile fleets, shared logistics platforms, and governance-enabled data integration. By synthesising academic literature with a comparative case study of selected cities, this paper illustrates how both rapidly urbanising and developed cities are using parts of the GULC model to reconfigure their last-mile delivery systems. The findings indicate that the GULC model provides a flexible blueprint for integrating sustainability and accessibility into urban logistics, thereby supporting decarbonisation targets as well as broader livability goals. This study's primary contribution is to fill a gap in the research by articulating a comprehensive, theoretically grounded model that aligns logistics innovation with pedestrian-oriented city planning. |
