Are you interested in last-mile freight planning?
Debate of the article titled The state of sustainable urban last-mile freight planning in the United States from 2024, by Thomas Maxner, Giacomo Dalla Chiara, and Anne Goodchild, published in the Journal of American Planning Association.
This is a great preparation to our next interview with Anne Goodchild in episode 466 talking about urban freight and last-mile delivery opportunities and challenges.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can improve urban freight despite the vague urban guidelines. This article argues for better data collection and private-sector collaboration to effectively decarbonise the urban delivery sector.
