Ask the Author: “The Freight Space Race: Curbing the Impacts of Freight Deliveries in Cities”

ITF Meeting ITF Meeting

14:30 CET

In this 30-minute online presentation and Q&A, author Joshua Paternina Blanco presents the new ITF report “The Freight Space Race: Curbing the Impacts of Freight Deliveries in Cities”. This study examines ways of making deliveries in cities less disruptive and more sustainable. Urban freight flows impact cities’ economic vitality, their environmental footprint, the safety and efficiency of traffic and the ways public space is used. The report examines how new partnerships, innovative methods, the use of data and intelligent space allocation can ease the pressure on cities and their inhabitants by rapidly growing freight movements in urban areas. It also addresses whether solutions require new forms of data management, what new types of delivery vehicles might be required and how actors can co-ordinate more effectively.
