Last-Mile Delivery Solutions in Urban Areas: Comparative Analysis
A crucial intersection of logistics, sustainability, and urban planning is the last-mile delivery of commodities in urban settings. In order to assess the effectiveness, viability, and effects on urban mobility of last-mile delivery options in urban settings, this paper gives a thorough comparative analysis of these alternatives. This research uses a structured framework to evaluate and compare a variety of delivery solutions, including conventional courier services, micro-fulfillment centers, e-commerce platforms, and cutting-edge technologies like drones and autonomous vehicles. It does this by drawing on case studies from various urban centers. The process includes intensive data gathering in a few selected urban regions, including surveys, interviews, and data analytics. Our research shows that service effectiveness, environmental responsibility, and customer happiness differ significantly between cities and among solutions. Comparative outcomes highlight the benefits and limitations of insights on customer preferences and service dependability, and the implications for urban design are provided for each delivery method. The comparative research reveals policy and urban planning implications, emphasizing how rules, infrastructure spending, and public–private partnerships influence last-mile delivery networks. This research educates politicians and urban planners on maximizing last-mile delivery, less traffic, and improving urban livability as metropolitan areas struggle with expanding e-commerce demands and the need for sustainable mobility. This study contributes to the larger conversation on sustainable urban mobility and the transformation of urban environments in the digital age by addressing the immediate challenges of urban logistics and identifying research gaps and directions for future innovations in last-mile delivery.
