Primed for Pickup: Urban delivery solutions for cities, in the online shopping boom

Описание: How do we build healthy cities in the doorstep-delivery era? As cities emerge post-pandemic to find a growing number of trucks on our streets, delivering goods directly to our front door, what can they do to better manage freight activity, curb transportation emissions, support local business and ensure more equitable, sustainable delivery practices?

This panel looked at the number of solutions across North America, and beyond, that are already being tested and which are ready for city planners and policymakers to put into action now, from cargo e-bikes to low-emission zones to new warehouse and supply chain models. The event was presented by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), Bloomberg Associates and the Pembina Institute. It marked the launch of their report, Building healthy cities in the doorstep-delivery era: Sustainable urban freight solutions from around the world.
