Goods thinking? Freight transport, challenges and opportunities for sustainability
While we are all aware that the way we move has been changed by the Covid pandemic- with a potential to radically change our cities, less is spoken about freight transport. E-commerce has increased dramatically during the pandemic, for example, bringing new types of freight flows and an increase in road freight transport in Europe. What does this mean for urban freight transport – what are some current challenges and opportunities for the sector, and what is being done?
