Value of Space
Location: Room - Ruby
Logistics in urban areas, catering many demands such as e-commerce, has a negative image. Even though logistics vehicles increase pressure on urban space and have negative environmental and social effects, logistics is inevitable to livable and vibrant cities. This session will show that there are multiple perspectives on urban planning ('15-minute-cities' and monofunctional neighbourhoods), but logistics is inevitably present and should be integrated. The question we address is: how do we organize logistics in for a vibrant prosperous city, where space is scarce and demand for logistics high?
