Abstract

Preface. This report is a deliverable (D4.3) in the MIMIC project, under WP4, Task 4.3. The aim of WP4 is: • test the Smart Governance Concept 1.0 developed under the previous CIVIC project with an attempt to include construction logistics planning in city level planning (Task 4.1 Testing of Smart Governance Concept 1.0), • develop and test Smart Governance Concept 2.0 based on the tools developed in MIMIC project (Task 4.2 Testing of Smart Governance Concept 2.0) • define design criteria, and policy and legal framework requirements, allowing testing and implementation of the SMART Governance Concept of construction logistics (Task 4.3 Legal framework and policy making).

The main aim of this report is to design policy and legal framework requirements which support the implementation of the Smart Governance Concept of construction logistics. In addition, the report gives an overview of the legal and political status at strategic, tactical, and operational levels, from each partner country in MIMIC.

The methodology used in this study is based on literature review and practical knowledge of the existing legal frameworks in Norway, Sweden, and Belgium. After this introduction chapter, Chapter 2 through Chapter 4 give detailed descriptions of the current legal and political status in Norway, Sweden, and Belgium, respectively. Chapter 5 provides some examples from each country. Chapter 6 provides recommendations for approaches to create awareness and have an impact on legal and policy development.
