Cities are dynamic ecosystems in which transport has a significant impact on quality of life. If the latter is to be not only maintained but also improved, it will be necessary to make adjustments to urban transport as soon as possible and offer adequate solutions to an array of challenges. These include an ever-growing population, particularly in major cities; rising levels of CO2 and particulates; outdated transport infrastructure; high noise levels; and severely limited useable space. ‘Last-mile’ logistics is incredibly important in this respect.
