Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper analyses “cityzen” logistics—how pedestrians carry their things. The purpose is to describe how the way of transporting goods in the city center has evolved over time. It draws on a comparative analysis of two similar large streets in the cities of Gothenburg and Toulouse from the late XIXth century to present. The chosen methodology combines archaeology, ethnography and statistics. It rests on quantitative analysis of photographs combined with qualitative analysis. These methods illuminate geographical, technical and cultural differences, but also surprising similarities between our two cities.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores consumer logistics in urban settings by focusing on the evolution of pedestrian transportation. It accounts for how people carry things in the city and how this is related to the frames of the city and other means of transportation. The methodology combines archaeology, observation, and statistics, and rests on systematic coding of photographical archives. It analyses two streets, one in Gothenburg, Sweden and one in Toulouse, France, over four distinctive periods: before World War I, the wars and interwar period, the 1950s–1960s, and the present. Both dramatic and discrete changes are found, such as the simultaneous proliferation in the use of pedestrians’ bags and motorised types of transportation. The paper identifies geographical, technical, and cultural differences, while yielding surprising similarities between the two cities. The paper concludes that the neglected issue of consumer logistics need to be brought into the contemporary discourse on sustainable cities.
