Curbing the Impact of Freight Deliveries in Cities
This report explores ways of making deliveries in cities less disruptive and more
sustainable. How goods are distributed in urban environments profoundly affects metropolitan
life. 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.
