Rapidly Changing Delivery Trends
"Rapidly changing e-commerce trends and technologies mean big changes for land-use and infrastructure planning", Lisa says.
Lisa notes that "once regarded primarily as a segment of transportation, freight and deliveries are increasingly commanding attention from a wider range of planners, government officials, and policy makers. The rapid rise in e-commerce deliveries and online food and grocery orders is driving many cities to develop a range of strategies to control curbside congestion. E-commerce impacts, however, extend far beyond the curb."
