Abstract: The Berlin‐Brandenburg Region has undergone profound transformations since 1990. Due to structural change, economic recovery and construction activity, urban and regional development was accompanied by a high volume of freight traffic. Hence strategic answers were developed by policy and planning. They comprise the establishment of suburban freight centres, local delivery improvements, and specified construction logistics. Despite a broad practical experience, concrete effects in terms of significant transport shifts or environmental benefits seem to be limited. In this context, the paper assesses the Berlin‐Brandenburg freight approach. It also discusses general limitations for regional logistics strategies, and possible consequences for policy and planning.
