WEBINAR: City logistics for historic cities - lessons from Chester on Wednesday 25th March @ 1pm

City logistics is vital for local economies, yet unmanaged deliveries lead to congestion, additional emissions, inefficiencies for logistics operators and complaints from residents.

This 30-minute lunchtime webinar provides data-driven insights and practical, low-cost recommendations from a study on city logistics in the heritage city of Chester in Northwest England. It shows how the public and private sectors can work together to balance the economic vitality of their towns and cities with sustainability objectives and quality of place.

The webinar will be hosted by Chris Rowland, who has 30 years' experience working as a freight transport economist specialising in the impact of policy on freight transport operations. He has a particular interest in city logistics, having completed projects on 'last mile' logistics for the European Commission, the Urban Transport Group, a range of English city regions and the National Transport Authority in Ireland.
