Urban Lunch Talk #35 – The 15-minute City: The Role of Logistics

4 December | 12:00-13:00 (CET) | Online (Zoom)  

The urban mobility transition calls for systemic shifts and innovative solutions to achieve sustainable urban environments. While much attention is placed on personal mobility, the logistics sector also plays a crucial role in shaping urban environments where residents can access what they need within short distances.

In this Urban Lunch Talk, we will explore the importance of integrating the mobility of people and goods in the transition to accessible, 15-minute cities. Join us as we discuss recent research findings and solutions for efficient, environmentally friendly freight transport. We will explore how these strategies can enhance access to goods across all urban areas, including suburban neighbourhoods.

    • Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Associate professor at Transport & Planning department and co-director of the SUM lab, TU Delft

We define critical issues as issues that might affect the successful implementation of the 15-minute City concept, and consequently the transition towards just and sustainable cities.
