More About Giulia

GiULiA is an initiative of the World Bank Group to improve urban logistics macro-planning. The current version of the tool focuses on urban logistics associated to e-commerce. The tool was designed in a flexible way using basic geographical and logistics information. Giulia allows to carry out sensitivity analyses, evaluating impacts of different types of policy interventions, considering both operational and environmental benefits through the establishment of indicators. Practioners can use this tool to identify tradeoffs, assess high-level impacts of certain measures and narrow down to policies that can bring both operational and environmental benefits for the context of the specific city. These measures have then to undergo a more in-depth analysis for implementation, with simulations at the micro-level.
