Zero-Emission Zones: The intersection of land-use, accessibility, and new logistics technologies
The growth of zero-emission (ZE) zones for city logistics requires understanding how they can sustainably reshape public space. Evaluating ZE-zone impacts on daily access and land-use organisation is vital. How might they limit access for logistics and essential services or impact mobility for residents with diverse needs? This interactive session examines practical implications of ZE-zones from various perspectives; city and national government ambitions, academic research on logistics sector innovations, and experiential research on human impact. Participants will learn to evaluate land-use and the impact of ZE-zones, and discuss sustainable development of equitable urban space.
